Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus is a succulent plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. Native to the American Southwest into Mexico. The Santa Rita Prickly Pear is an upright, bushy succulent shrub with colorful, round, ovate, fleshy pads. Covered with spines, the pads turn rich purple in winter before changing back to soft blue gray with warmer temperatures. This purple pad coloration also intensifies in direct sunlight and drought.

In spring, large multi-petalled and yellow flowers appear on the outer edges of the pads, creating a stunning contrast with the purple pads. They are followed by small edible purple fruits that are highly attractive to birds. Frost hardy, Santa Rita Prickly Pear is a very decorative cactus which adds beauty to the garden year-round. Typically grows up to 6-8 ft. tall (180-240 cm) and 8-10 ft. wide (240-300 cm). This low-maintenance plant is a great choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, and cactus gardens. This remarkable plant is deer resistant, tolerates urban pollution and is easy to care for.

 

Care Tips

Light: Santa Rita Prickly Pear in the sun can promote the growth of the plant, for this reason should see more sunlight, but in the summer to shade, to prevent direct sunlight (sunburn injury). For a long time in the non-ventilated cactus, in the dry and hot season it is easy to have red spider harm and show aging like yellow-brown will affect its growth and ornamental value. To avoid the above phenomenon, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place.

Water: Santa Rita Prickly Pear is drought-resistant, watering should be less rather than more, avoid water in the pot, keep half wet can be, June to August is the growth season, want to promote the growth of fast (generally once a day watering). To keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season, and do not water during the dormant period.

Soil: Is mainly loose and breathable loam, so the soil for potted plants can be mixed with sandy loam and coarse sand, and the right amount of fertilizer can be added to the soil as a nutrient for growth.

Potting: Choose a small pot, not a large one, generally as long as it is slightly larger than the shape of the plant. The pot should also have a hole in the ground to facilitate drainage. When planting, do not bury too deep, as long as the stand is stable. It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Temperature is a limiting factor for the natural distribution of cacti, which requires a growth range of 59-104°F (15-40°C), with 68-86°F (20-30°C) being the optimal range. 

Humidity: Santa Rita Prickly Pear grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Best natural deodorant
      Scent: Coconut & Vanilla
      I discovered Native Deodorant through an excellent rating on the Yuka app and decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. The formula contains naturally derived ingredients, which was an important factor in my decision. What impressed me most was how effective it is. It provides reliable odor protection throughout the day without irritation, and the application is so smooth and lightweight that it’s practically unnoticeable once applied. There’s no sticky or greasy feeling, and it feels comfortable from the moment it goes on. Overall, this has been one of the best natural deodorants I’ve used. It combines clean ingredients with excellent performance, making it an easy product to recommend.

      Good Natural Deodorant smelling fresh
      Scent: Eucalyptus & Mint
      I switched to Native after wanting to move away from aluminum-based deodorants and I've been really happy with it. The eucalyptus and mint scent is clean and crisp without being overpowering — it smells fresh in the morning and you can still catch a hint of it later in the day. The stick goes on smoothly without that waxy drag some natural deodorants have, and I haven't had any white marks on dark shirts. Odor control has held up well through a normal workday and light activity. It's not an antiperspirant so you'll still sweat, but the scent stays pleasant. No irritation for me even after the first few days, which is usually when baking soda formulas would get my skin angry. Overall a solid everyday deodorant — would buy again.

      Great Performance, Just Not My Favorite Scent
      Scent: Citrus & Herbal Musk
      I’ve been using this Native deodorant for a while now, and overall it’s been a pretty solid option, especially if you’re trying to stick with something more natural. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and I like that it doesn’t leave behind a bunch of residue on clothes. It also holds up well throughout the day—definitely reliable for everyday use. One of the big positives for me is the ingredient list. It’s aluminum-free and made with simpler, naturally derived ingredients, which is something I’ve been trying to prioritize more. It still manages to control odor effectively without feeling harsh on the skin, which isn’t always the case with natural deodorants. As for the scent, it’s… fine. The citrus and herbal musk combo is clean and not overpowering, but it’s not my favorite either. I don’t dislike it, but I also wouldn’t go out of my way to pick this particular fragrance again—just comes down to personal preference. Overall, it’s a dependable deodorant that works well and feels good to use. If the scent hits for you, it could easily be a go-to.

      Love Native
      Scent: Buttercream & French Vanilla
      Great deodorant that’s aluminum free. Love all the Native deodorants. Helps keep body odor at bay. Goes on smooth and doesn’t tug on skin. If switching from an aluminum deodorant to this, give your body some time to adjust. Purchase all kinds of different scent and love them all. May leave some white marks on shirts if shirt rubs against your underarms.

      Best deodorant I have ever tried!
      Scent: Powder & Cotton
      This is by far the best deodorant I have ever used! I purchased the powder and cotton scent. It is such a nice fresh scent and lasts all day long even through workouts. The is not over powering though. It just smells clean and fresh. I have tried other Native deodorants before and never really loved any of them but I decided to give it another try in this scent because I was looking for a healthier option. I would highly recommend this product and I will be repurchasing. Also I feel like this scent is suitable for men or women.
