Cold hardy to approximately 10F (USDA Zones 8-11). ?Planting Propagation ?These pads are incredibly easy to grow. ?Callus: I ship these fresh; ensure the cut end is dry and "callused" before planting. ?Planting: Stand the pads upright, burying the bottom 1/3 in well-draining soil (sandy or rocky mixes work best). ?Watering: Do not water for the first 10-14 days while the pad establishes roots. Once established, they require very little maintenance. ?Safety Tip: These are authentic desert cacti and have sharp spines. Always handle with tongs or thick leather gloves! ?3.
