We love these crazy cactus for is unsual shape, Opuntia Rubescens Consolea is also known as the Road Kill cactus because of its flat appearence.
 
This plant requires very little pampering to become established. In fact, more die from too much care and watering than from neglect. Make sure you give your Opuntia well draining soil and lots of sunlight. It's a perfect plant for urban living and a really beautiful and striking plant. 
 
Low-maintenance and an excellent choice for anyone new to growing houseplants. This plant will thrive as long as its water only when it's completely dry and kept in a warm and sunny spot. 
 
We are selling larger older cactus - these plants have the usual marks and scratches of older cactus, which is beautiful but if you prefer something unmarked why not choose instead one of our younger cactus plants?
