Did you know that Prickly Pear can be planted from Did you know that Prickly Pear can be planted from seed, but there is a much easier way?😊 Just cut off a pad that is at least 6 inches tall. Put the pad upright in a dry, shady place for at least 2 weeks. This allows a callus to form at the bottom. Plant with the cut end down and do not water for the first month because it is susceptible to fungal infections. After the first month, water every 2 - 3 weeks until established. If planted in the summer, provide shade until established (about 3 months). I generally do not recommend planting in the winter, but encourage waiting until spring when the soil warms up.☀️ Have you tried this before?

Earlier this week, I met up with my sisters at the Earlier this week, I met up with my sisters at the @theRiparianPreserve in Gilbert, AZ to go birdwatching.
