Opuntia zebrina itself traces back to the Caribbean and coastal regions of the southeastern United States and Mexico, and like its parent species it loves heat, sun, and well-drained soil. What sets this cultivar apart is its growth habit: rather than building a wide branching shrub, it tends to stack pad upon pad in a winding, serpentine fashion, slithering upward and sideways like a snake working its way through the desert. A standout conversation piece for any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a single pad. The cut should be calloused and fully healed within a week of arrival, ready to root in dry, well-draining soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipped bare root for safe and clean transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown in Blythe, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are a completely pesticide-free, organic, and self-sustained cactus nursery.
