Opuntia gosseliniana var. santa-rita

Native to the arid regions of southern USA, Opuntia gosseliniana is a twist on the classic prickly pear. This Opuntia changes its colouration depending on the growth conditions; in shadier, damper conditions it produces a greyish blue colouration, whereas bright light and drought result in the production of vibrant purple pigmentation which reduces damage from the harsh desert sun. This feature results in a prickly pear with pads displaying a range of blue and purple tones, which can change throughout the year.

Watering

Water when soil is dry 100%. Water lightly (if at all) during winter months.

Light requirements

Full sun.

Feed

Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March - November.

Repotting

Repot every 2-3 years. Use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage such as perlite, pumice or grit.

Pot size / height

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.
