Opuntia reticulata "Cobra" 2.5”pot

The Opuntia reticulata "Cobra" features elongated, cylindrical pads that are distinctively different from the flat pads of other prickly pears. The pads are often covered with a net-like pattern of tubercles, giving them a textured appearance.

CARE:

• To thrive indoors, consistent bright, indirect sunlight with a combination of direct light is best. Southern or western exposures are ideal.  Rotate the plant occasionally to promote even growth and prevent leaning toward the light source.
• Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Opuntia are drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dryness. It's best to err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering, as too much water can quickly lead to root rot. 
• Be mindful that this plant will be a much heavier drinker in the summertime, so water it accordingly. Reduce watering in fall and winter.
