Opuntia Santa Rita cv. Red Needle is hybrid Santa Rita that has few long red toothpick spines on thick blue pads that turn purple in winter. Flowers are bright yellow with red centers. You are bidding on the whole plant. Individual pads may become separated during shipping. However, each can be rooted and will grow into a new shrub. Beware of the barbed spines and glochids. Use paper not gloves when handling. Sections fall off almost to the touch. Please read our FAQ in our cactusbylin ebay store. If you select more than one item from our cactusbylin ebay store that is NOT already offered at free shipping, please request or wait for a combined invoice before paying. Your total shipping cost will be much lower. Please read our FAQ for more information on combined shipping. Unless otherwise noted in the description above, all live plants are shipped without soil and pot, also known as bare root.Don't water Prickly Pear Cacti until they grow roots. It may take 30-60 days. If you water while they are in the soil before roots, they may rot. However, even though the pad may look dead, it may grow a new pad within a year. It does not matter which way they are planted. However, you typically get roots faster when they are laying flat on the soil. The down side of the pad will begin to grow roots. We can only ship live plants to the United States of America (USA).
