Frost-resistant cactus from Mexico that produces edible and really tasty fruits.

Opuntia ficus indica, also known as the prickly pear cactus, originates from Mexico but is now grown worldwide in tropical and Mediterranean climates as both an ornamental plant and a fruit crop. The cactus's thorns are reduced and even fall off after a short time, making it virtually impossible to prick yourself. It is also frost-resistant down to -10°C and can be grown outdoors with winter protection.

Care.

The prickly pear cactus is very hardy and grows well even in soils that are not particularly fertile and dry. It is even tolerant of light frost down to -8°C if it is not wet at the same time, which can otherwise lead to rot. Late frosts in spring are poorly tolerated, as the new shoots freeze to death. In our area, it can be cared for as an indoor plant or even as a garden plant in a suitable location with mineral-rich soil.

Care.

Prickly pear cactus thrives in direct sun and warm temperatures . It can be fed cactus fertilizer every two weeks. It should be planted in a very loose, mineral-rich and well-drained substrate . In summer, the plant should be watered regularly and abundantly, but always so that there is no waterlogging.

During autumn and winter, watering should be significantly reduced , and for specimens planted outdoors, you should keep the soil around the plant dry. For this, you can cover the ground around the plant with a waterproof tarpaulin. In this way, it can survive frosts down to about -10°C. Then protect the plant with jute and or heating coil during the winter.

From autumn onwards, the stem sections start to become slightly wrinkled and often lose their ability to stand up. This is nothing to worry about. The cactus concentrates its cell sap and collects sugar in the cells, which lowers the freezing point. This is an anti-freeze mechanism!

Botanical description.

Opuntia ficus indica is believed to originate from central Mexico where its closest relatives are also found.

Fruits and flowers.

Commercially, it is grown primarily for its edible, sweet and sour fruits, which are widely used in Mexican cooking. Cultivation is particularly facilitated by the fact that the flowers are autogamous, meaning they pollinate themselves and form fruits.

Appearance.

The prickly pear cactus typically grows to around 3 metres in height, and the individual, flat stem sections grow 20 to 60 cm long and 10 to 30 cm wide. Over time, a woody stem forms. Grow your own exotic fruits, buy prickly pear cactus online!

Excellent pillow, firm but more flexible than others of its type
Size: Queen Size: 27.6"L x 15.7"W soft, Color: White
I previously bought a similar pair of pillows from Sleep Innovations, but they are now either out of stock or unavailable. This new brand is a bit softer and more comfortable than the original pair. It's good for sleeping on my side or my back. The pillow cradles and supports the head and neck in a more contoured way than some harder pillows. The price is reasonable. The only difference from Sleep Innovations is that this pillow does not have a zip cover. So there is no way to wash the exterior. I suppose that one could buy a zip cover for it at extra cost.

Side sleepers rejoice!
Size: Queen Size: 27.6"L x 15.7"W soft, Color: White
I have spent hundreds of dollars on pillows. I am primarily a side sleeper and every few years I find myself waking up with a "crick" in my neck accompanied by pain and tension. I have had this pillow for only two nights and I am leaving a positive review. It is firmer than one would expect based on first appearance and the "press" test. The surface stays cool and I can sleep any which way and I am still comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Too Soft for Him, Just Right for Me
Size: Queen Size: 27.6"L x 15.7"W soft, Color: White
My husband purchased this for himself but found it to be too soft for his preference. I decided to try it, and it worked well for me. While I agree it’s not as firm as either of us typically like, it still provided adequate support, and the shape retention held up nicely. Overall, it wasn’t a match for him, but it worked just fine for my needs.

Great for a side sleeper. Firm enough that it doesn’t collapse but soft and cool

Love this pillow!
Size: Queen Size: 27.6"L x 15.7"W soft, Color: White
I sleep on my side and this pillow is great! I also enjoy the cooling aspect. I forgot my pillow at a hotel and had another one ordered before I got home.
