With its long, pointed leaves emerging from cylindrical stems, Austrocylindropuntia subulata is an unusual cactus that adds height, texture, and intrigue to any collection. Though it’s closely related to the classic prickly pear, this species has a much more upright, branching growth habit and narrow, leaf-like projections that give it a prehistoric feel. Fast-growing and architectural, it thrives in warm, sunny spots.

Scientific Name
Austrocylindropuntia subulata (subulata = awl-shaped, referring to the slender, pointed leaves)

Synonyms
Previously listed as Opuntia subulata – still used in cultivation

Common Name
Eve’s Needle Cactus

Origin
Native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, especially in arid montane regions

Light
Requires full sun or very bright light for best growth. A south-facing windowsill or sunroom is ideal. Rotate regularly to maintain an upright shape.

Water
Allow soil to fully dry out between waterings. In spring and summer, water thoroughly every 2–3 weeks. In winter, reduce to once a month or less. Avoid watering into the centre of the plant.

Humidity
Prefers dry air. Avoid humid environments and rooms with poor airflow.

Soil
Use a coarse cactus mix with added grit, perlite, or sand to aid drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.

Food
Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season with a balanced cactus fertiliser. No feeding in winter.

Temperature
Prefers 20–30°C. Tolerates down to 5°C if kept dry, but avoid frost and cold draughts.

Pet-safe
No – toxic if ingested and can cause irritation. Spines can injure pets or children.

Sprouts Top Tips
This cactus grows fast – pot up annually in spring and prune with gloves if needed to keep its shape.

Extras
Can eventually grow into a shrubby, tree-like form up to 2 metres indoors if left unpruned.

Did You Know?
The “leaves” on Austrocylindropuntia subulata are actually modified stems – a rare feature among cacti!

Don't buy they don't work only 3 hours that's it
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 12)
These are cheap and when I went to take it off it broke they only last three to four hours that's it then the scent is gone. I have bought these many a times from a different seller and they last me a long time matter of fact I got them at the Dollar tree

My Go-To Cotton Rounds — Don’t Fall Apart & No Fuzz
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
These are my favorite cotton rounds, and I’ve tried everything from dollar store versions to higher-end “eco” brands. I keep coming back to these. They stay intact and do not separate, even when fully saturated. I use them for micellar water, toner, and nail polish remover, and they hold up well with all three. No fuzz left behind, no pilling, and no pieces sticking to my face. The thickness is just right — not too thin, not overly bulky. They’re soft but durable. I also like that one side has a slight texture. It’s not harsh or labeled as “exfoliating,” but it does have a subtle grip that helps with product application without irritating the skin barrier. Compared to cheaper brands that fall apart and more expensive ones that don’t perform any better, these strike the perfect balance of quality and value. Definitely a repeat purchase for me. TL;DR: Soft, durable, no fuzz, and don’t fall apart. Perfect thickness for toner, micellar water, and nail polish remover. My consistent repurchase.

Good Quality Cotton Rounds
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased these cotton rounds, and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are soft, durable, and incredibly gentle, making them perfect for my daily skin care routine. They don’t leave behind any lint, and they hold up well when applying toner or removing makeup. One unexpected bonus is how great they are for my cat with skin allergies. I use the rounds to gently clean around sensitive areas, and the soft texture ensures I don’t irritate her skin. Another huge plus is the value. The set comes with a generous amount of rounds for the price, which makes it both practical and economical. For anyone looking for versatile, skin-friendly cotton rounds that work for both personal care and gentle pet care, this set is an excellent buy!

Just Love These Little Pads
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
I use these everyday, at least twice a day and they are perfect for applying toner, etc. The little pads absorb liquid well so you don't use too much of something, or the liquid rolls off onto the counter, they fit perfectly on the ends of my fingers, they don't leave lint on my skin, and are thin enough to be used easily and well. They do not scratch my skin, they are not rough, and they don't stick to me. I use them only once and throw away. The price of them is reasonable and a box of them is always sitting in pantry. I've used them to applying antiseptic to cuts,, giving to my husband for dotting a razor cut, and as a protector inside a jewelry pouch. I just love these little pads.

Great cotton rounds and a great deal
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
What a great deal on cotton rounds. I use this daily to tone my skin and to remove my makeup. The cotton doesn’t break up on me and it doesn’t irritate my skin. Definitely a great choice for your cotton rounds
