Jennifer Fletcher · Gardenality Bud · Zone 5B · -15° to -10° F · Comment About Planting
If you are using using cuttings from an Opuntia plant, cut it at the base of the pad right after the last frost. Then, wait for it to callous over. After it is calloused over, place in DRY soil., not moist. Wait about two weeks to water.
