Soil type is also fairly irrelevant! Great for beginners!! These do not come with a pot - they are shipped bare and unrooted. No warranty is provided beyond delivery of the healthy plants. This cactus is edible and perfect for reptile pets such as snakes, lizards, turtles, and tortoises. Humans can also eat this cactus, and the number of annoying glochids is very, very low compared to other types of cactus. It's an emergency food, a delicacy, and snack all rolled into one! As alluded to, this cactus is extremely hardy! Toss a pad on the ground and it will probably survive and multiply on its own. However, in the middle of a very hot summer, it will probably need water to get started. Once it's rooted, almost nothing can stop it. For anyone doing any xeriscaping, this is a great type of cactus to add to your arsenal.
