Kakteen Gautschi Opuntia edible fruits

The prickly pear Opuntia ficus indica with edible fruits.

This cactus likes to be placed in a sunny window or at least close to a window, and in summer also outside. In spring/summer, water the plant once every 10 days, but always allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, water a little once a month at most, it should not grow then. Cool overwintering is recommended.
