Cactus - Eastern Prickly Pear (Opuntia Humifusa) Opuntia Cacti Eastern Prickle Pear Cactus

Perennial

Height 2 to 3 ft

Did you know that there are 3 species of Native Cactus in Canada? And, they are extremely rare, and endangered, and can be found in Western Canada as well as in Ontario, embracing both snow and ice, unaffected by our freezing temperatures!

The Eastern Prickly Pear, is a perennial, low-spreading cactus that has round flat green stems with clusters of barbed bristles and a width of 1 to 4 ft. It produces fascinating yellow flowers with red centres, blooming in June and July. Excellent choice for xeriscaping! Great for containers and rockeries. Great terrarium project for kids. 

Note: always wear gloves - the Opuntia cacti has tiny spines (to protect from grazing animals and excessive transpiration), somewhat bothersome - wear gloves when handling. 

    • Full Sun
    • Soil: dry/sand.
    • Opuntia is one of the cacti that has a tough seed coat, the hard seed of the prickly pear cactus won't allow gasses or water to enter - they will germinate more quickly if the seed surface is abraded and soaked. To break this dormant state, the seed is scarified: to do this, boil a pot of water, remove it from the stove and soak the seed in it. When the water cools to room temperature, remove the seed. OR, scarify the seed by making a small opening, with sandpaper, a small knife, or your fingernail.
    • Soak in lukewarm water for a few days, changing the water daily.
    • Mix the soaked seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
    • OR stratify by placing in soil in the freezer or outdoor cold for 4 to 6 weeks.
    • After the completion of these steps, plant your seeds into a moist, well-draining seed starting mix and cover. Do not plant deeply - 1/8 in.
    • Spacing: 1 in apart in pots until they are 1 year old; prop up seedling with bits of pumice and keep in same pot for one year. Transplant into single larger pots after one year.
  • OR Direct sow in late fall, pressing them into the surface of the soil.
  • Germination: 41 days
  • Maturity 50 to 55 days
  • Harvest: Seeds form in the blooms of the cactus. Remove flowers as they fade and place these in a small paper bag. You’ll find the seeds when the flowers have totally dried up. Keep in a cool dark place or in the fridge until ready to use. PM
  • Seed Count: 10

Very Nice For The Price
Color: Nude
I wanted a plain neutral colored clutch purse to carry at a wedding. This was one is inexpensive, but does not look cheap. It will easily hold a lipstick, compact, small hair rush, and my phone. It comes with detachable chain that you can use if you want to, but I think it looks more dressy without it. I am sure this will suit your needs if you want a decent clutch purse that doesn't cost a lot of money.

Cute dressy purse for special occasion
Color: Black, Color: Black
I bought this so I could have a dressy small evening out purse. It’s a stiff, molded shaped purse and looks great as part of the entire outfit. It comes with two dressy little gold and silver chain shoulder straps to match either one with your clothing or jewelry. Perfect size for carrying powder, lipstick, mirror, pen, a small hairbrush. There is a small, tight little pocket inside to hold a credit card, and some cash. It was the perfect purse for my needs.

Functional roomy versatile purse
Color: Black
Faux leather but looks like the real thing. It comes with two chain straps. One is silver one is gold. The trim on the purse itself is gold. It's formed. I can fit several things inside. It's a nice size purse that can take you from day to night even to a clutch.
