Bring home a splash of desert color with this vibrant Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear, a stunning cactus native to Cochise County, Arizona. This striking pad is perfect for potting or propagation and thrives in full sun with minimal care.
🍃 Key Features
 Color: Pads blush rich pinky-purple in winter or under drought stress and fade to soft blue-grey in summer. Exposure to full sun deepens the color—especially when neglected or in dormancy.
 Flowers: Dark yellow blooms ringed with copper appear in spring to early summer, creating a dramatic contrast against purple-toned pads.
 Fruit: Produces edible purple fruits after flowering—loved by wildlife and great for subtle harvesting.
 Structure: A rounded, tree-like cactus that grows to 4–6 ft tall and 8–10 ft wide at maturity. Pads are nearly circular and often spineless or with few central spines.

🌿 Care & Growing Tips
Light: Full sun enhances color and bloom potential.
Water: Water every 2–3 weeks during warm months; monthly or less in cooler seasons.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix.
Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F to -5°F (USDA Zone 7) when kept dry.
Container Friendly: Makes a stunning potted specimen or low-maintenance landscape accent.
Note: The purple coloring is often a result of neglect or winter dormancy. Because we send healthy, well-cared-for pads, they may arrive more green-blue. Color change is encouraged with time and environmental stress (sun, cold, dryness).

Sprayer gets stuck
Color: Black
It’s perfect having the spray bottle in the paper towel holder butttt the sprayer gets stuck already and it’s only been a month so I can’t constantly spray in one motion, sometimes you have to do fix it yourself bc it won’t pop back up on its own

Handy
Color: Black
This is such a neat piece for your kitchen. Of course it is convenient for paper towels but the added feature of having a spray bottle included is very convenient to keep your counters sparkling. I put in the stone polish and sealer. You could put windex for stove and fridge or water cleaner you wish. I highly recommend this and it is very affordable!

Hello Organized Drawer
My husband thought that I was crazy for buying these but I was so tired of the stacked boxes of foil, wrap, parchment paper, Ziplock baggies, etc. getting the drawer stuck and having to reach in a semi-closed drawer and pry the box loose to open the drawer. Now, he wants all the drawers to be as neat and orderly as this one. While I’m not thrilled about the price point and the finish color (does not match anything I have going on in my kitchen), I do love the product itself. The sliders/cutters are GREAT (12+ uses so far) and don’t leave sharp or jagged edges. The rolls are held in by a panel with small magnets so it’s seamless and easily cleaned/wiped (if needed). I also bought the corresponding Ziplock bag organizers. Another pro of this product: the labels are CLEAR with black font. It sounds like a silly little detail, but it makes a huge difference. One important note: the 12-in version only holds your traditional foils, clear wrap, and wax paper rolls. Parchment paper WILL NOT fit in the 12-in version. If you want to store parchment paper, you need to buy the longer version bc those rolls are traditionally 14-in in length. Same for non-traditional aluminum foil rolls (like grill size foil).
