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.

      Exactly what I wanted
      This robo-vac works great! Most of the well known products in this category are full of crap that you don't need, or is even spying on you. I'm sorry, but my appliances don't need WIFI, camera's, mapping features and an internet connection to send them to... who??? This unit has everything you need and nothing you don't. I bought it because my dog is shedding like crazy and leaving my floor looking like it needs a haircut. The Eufy has done a great job of picking up ALL of the dog hair, dirt and small particles, and has yet to become clogged. The floor it is cleaning is a linoleum floor that has a low pile rug and it cleans both very well. The Eufy runs for well over an hour and one of the best things about it.... it is VERY quiet. Emptying the dust bin is super easy, and cleaning the filters is very easy as well. The Eufy comes with extra side brushes and an extra roller. I have not had to change any of them yet, but maintenance and cleaning of these items has been made very easy as well. It comes with a well thought out cleaning tool that makes cleaning easy. It has a cutter on it, similar to an envelope opener, that gets under hair that wraps around the roller and and slices it off. This is a problem with ANY vacuum that has a roller, and this tool works very well for this. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect at the price point, but the Eufy works better than the older I-robot I had some time ago and is far easier to maintain. The very first time it ran it was learning the room and did not make it back to the dock, but every use since, it has always gotten back and docked. If you want a robot vac that you can start with a remote or program a schedule in, without WIFI, camera's, and yet another app to install on your phone, I highly recommend the Eufy... you won't be disappointed.

      The Silent, Obsessive Predator in the War on Filth: A Dispatch on the eufy L60
      Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
      Dateline: My Living Room Floor, a Battlefield of Invisible Grime, 1:30 AM. The house is quiet. The world is asleep. But in the darkness, a hunter stirs. It detaches itself from its charging dock with a soft, electronic whir, its single laser-eye pulsing with a cool, blue light. This is not a vacuum cleaner. This is the eufy L60, an autonomous, dirt-seeking assassin, and it is beginning its nightly patrol. To call what this machine does "mapping" is a gross understatement. This is military-grade reconnaissance. On its maiden voyage, the L60 didn't just bumble around bumping into things. No, it conducted a systematic, laser-guided survey of my entire living space, rendering a perfect, eerily accurate floor plan on my phone. It knows the terrain. It has identified the chair legs, the table supports, the treacherous geography of the area rug. It has logged the coordinates of every obstacle. It is operating with a level of tactical awareness that would make a special forces operative blush. And then, the hunt begins. With 5,000 Pascals of raw, unadulterated suction power, it doesn't just "pick up" dirt; it inhales it. It moves in straight, deliberate, overlapping lines, a methodical grid search that leaves no square inch un-scoured. Dust, crumbs, the detritus of a life lived with a certain amount of reckless abandon—all of it vanishes into its maw. And hair… good heavens, the hair. It attacks strands of human and pet hair with a special kind of ferocity, its "Hair Detangling Technology" acting like a tiny, internal machete, chopping the stuff up before it can choke the machinery. It is a savage and beautiful solution to an ancient and vexing problem. But the true genius, the feature that elevates this from a clever gadget to a genuine domestic revolution, is the self-empty station. This monolith is not just a charger; it is the L60's base of operations. After its patrol is complete, the little predator dutifully returns to the dock. And then you hear it—a ferocious, ten-second roar, like a miniature jet engine firing up. That is the sound of every speck of filth the robot has collected being violently sucked from its belly into a sealed bag within the tower. The result? You don't have to do a thing. For up to 60 days, this silent partnership continues. The robot hunts, it cleans, it reports back to its base, it unloads its grim bounty, and it prepares for the next mission. You are completely removed from the dirtiest part of the process. This eufy L60 is not just an appliance; it's a quantum leap. It is a quiet, frighteningly intelligent, and ruthlessly efficient solution to the endless, soul-crushing war against domestic filth. It maps its battlefield with perfect precision, it hunts its prey with relentless power, and it handles its own dirty work. It is, without a doubt, the single greatest ally you could ever have in the quest for a clean floor. Absolutely amazing.

      Waste of money
      Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
      This vacuum is a total let down. It cleans well enough however it has lost its network connection every month since I have owned it. Not only do I have to take 20 minutes to get it to finally reconnect, but it also wipes out the map that is stored. So I can’t clean until it re-maps the floor, I have to re-divide the rooms, and ultimately can’t clean for close to 2 hours when I need it most. Don’t waste your time with this unit unless you want to deal with network issues every month

      Great Price, Great Quality, Save your money from other over priced Brands
      I absolutely love this! Just as good as any of the more expensive brands! It has great cleaning abilities and is able to get in every corner and crevice. This quality is amazing and it has a mapping feature with a remote to set it up. Powerful suction, connects to the wifi easily and has a perfect spin rate so it doesn't miss a thing! My biggest issue is that I wasn't using it as much as I should! Make sure you set up a timer and it will take care of the rest!

      Growing up with robots...
      I'll spare you the obvious and only mention in passing that this is obviously a Roomba-wannabee. That aside, it turns out to be a pretty good R-wbee. Which is unsurprising since I combed through a couple of different comparison YouTube videos, both of which ranked this model near the top of their lists in the category of powerful vacuum robot on a budget. This lil sucker is indeed quite effective. I only have a carpeted bedroom, so it doesn't wander much, but it easily traverses even the bulged or steeped edges of my old burber carpeting. Like any such device, if you're going to leave it unattended, you will need to clear away any cords or other small debris (anything up to about popcorn size will just get vacuumed). I empty mine every other time I use it, and it's rarely brimming over. The only problems I've encountered have always been some kind of cordage or wire or string getting wrapped around the spinning scrubber unit--easily corrected. I'm very happy with the remote. I tend to use it mostly as a remote controlled vacuum device; ie, me lazily stalking behind it, using the remote to reverse it or to bring it back round for a second pass, til I'm satisfied. In addition to allowing N-S-E-W directions, you can also press and hold a direction button to make it speed up. You can also toggle between carpet and hardwood mode. The device charges pretty quickly and usually lets me get 2 to 3 large room sessions completed before displaying low battery. I will note that my kitten was a mere 3 months old when I got this device and she has literally grown up with it. It long ago stopped frightening her and now she regards this device as a friend and playmate to such an extent that I had to move the charging dock from a floor corner to a low dresser drawer--because when I left it out in the open, my cat would always manage to depress the big GO button and send it off partially charged, destined to tangle up my charging cables and neckties. So if you plan on letting your cat grow up with this robot, take precautions. I would definitely buy another one of these, and probably will. Recommended.
