Bring home a splash of desert color with this vibrant Santa Rita Purple Prickly Pear, a stunning cactus native to Cochise County, Arizona. This striking pad is perfect for potting or propagation and thrives in full sun with minimal care.
🍃 Key Features
 Color: Pads blush rich pinky-purple in winter or under drought stress and fade to soft blue-grey in summer. Exposure to full sun deepens the color—especially when neglected or in dormancy.
 Flowers: Dark yellow blooms ringed with copper appear in spring to early summer, creating a dramatic contrast against purple-toned pads.
 Fruit: Produces edible purple fruits after flowering—loved by wildlife and great for subtle harvesting.
 Structure: A rounded, tree-like cactus that grows to 4–6 ft tall and 8–10 ft wide at maturity. Pads are nearly circular and often spineless or with few central spines.

🌿 Care & Growing Tips
Light: Full sun enhances color and bloom potential.
Water: Water every 2–3 weeks during warm months; monthly or less in cooler seasons.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix.
Cold Hardy: Tolerates down to 0°F to -5°F (USDA Zone 7) when kept dry.
Container Friendly: Makes a stunning potted specimen or low-maintenance landscape accent.
Note: The purple coloring is often a result of neglect or winter dormancy. Because we send healthy, well-cared-for pads, they may arrive more green-blue. Color change is encouraged with time and environmental stress (sun, cold, dryness).

Great Slip-On Leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
Great little leash. I originally bought this for the neighborhood pitbull that keeps escaping. First time I was able to get him by the collar and walk him home hunched over, but the second time he escaped he had slipped it, so I had to carry him home. i figured it was time to get a leash to have one on hand (we didn't have our own dog at the time). This was the first slip over leash I spotted on here and so I grabbed it just to have here the next time he shows up. Really glad I did. If I approach friendly, he comes over tail wagging looking for affection. I can easily slip it over as I give him some pets and then he happily walks home with me. It works perfectly for that. Then comes our recently adopted puppy. She came with a very small collar (but she's already 22 lbs) and the clip on leash we got for her was kind of cumbersome to put on with that tiny little D-ring, so this ended up becoming our go-to leash for walks as well. Much easier to take on and off, and especially easy to slip over for those times I let her run off leash and she's not cooperating with it going back on. Very strong without being too heavy, and easy on both my hands and the dog's neck. I'll probably go back to a clip-on once she fits into her larger/wider collar (which will be much more comfortable for her), but for now this is a fantastic temporary solution. I cannot recommend it enough.

Good Teaching & walking leash, heavy duty
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
Very good dog leash for heavy or big dogs. Not for the little guys. Be sure to keep it above their neck as to not choke them. Good training leash for walking large dogs or very strong puppies of a larger breed for training purposes. Walking everyday is so good for them and you! Helps keep them following you, walking on your side or while your , rollerblading, cycling .. Teaching relaxing ways to walk your dog, gently n not choking them by keeping it high behind their ears! The dog will love you. Watch Dog Whisperer on how to walk your dog safely n dog not pull n walk you! If your dog is really heavy, strong n big, get the strongest one. Be sure to keep their regular I’d collar on. This is not a replacement for a collar. Do not ever use this to tie up your dog, not safe. Just have a daily long walk with your pet dog. Mine is 45 lbs and walks wonderfully with me with this leash. No pulling, tugging or jerking. Note: can be chewed by puppies. Never leave them alone with leash on.

The best thing ever for you and your dog!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
This leash has been a blessing. I rescued a dog several years ago and I'm not sure what the previous owners did to him but there was no way I could get a harness or collar on him. I tried and being that it's just me and he is about 130 lbs, it wasn't going to happen. I ran out of ideas but saw one trainer video where she slipped it on her dog while giving her dog a treat. That was a great and all but Thor has never taken a treat from my hand. I would have to put it down. Anyway I did and slipped the leash around him and it worked so smoothly. He was surprised by it but I praised him for it. I do this daily now because the slip leash is so easy to work with. I can't thank you guys enough. The quality is there and made well. If you need to train your dog on a leash, you can't go wrong buying this.

Good, heavy duty leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Purple
I bought 2 of these leashes for my dogs after seeing a dog trainer use something very similar. Before this, I was using a conventional clip-on leash and a flat collar, and I found that my dogs pulled a lot. Well, my young and insane terrier mix still pulls like a freight train, but my older dog has responded well to this leash. It's been significantly easier to get him to heel and to move him along when he decides to spend an entire day sniffing a patch of grass. I'm sure my younger dog will calm down a bit when I work with her some more, and this leash will help. The rope is stout and it has reflective thread woven into it. I didn't realize how visible it was until a light shone on it. I wouldn't rely on it to keep you safe in low visibility areas (wear a reflective vest if you walk at night and there's traffic) but it can't hurt and is a nice touch. The rope is soft enough that it doesn't chafe either dog's neck, and it's thick enough that it doesn't hurt my hands even when the dogs spot a rabbit or squirrel and YANK as hard as they can. I certainly have no fear of this leash breaking-- it looks like you could tow a small car with it. This is an excellent, inexpensive slip leash to use when walking or training an obstinate dog.

Great Quality & Easily Useable!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Yellow
These are the BEST leashes, not only for new dogs that are training, but for every day usage. My dog is 40 lb. Bernedoodle and he is off-leash a lot of the time because he wears an e-collar and responds well to this. So these leadshes that slip on and off easily are terrific! They are great quality, nice weight, perfect length at 6 feet. I have several in different colors.
