Let’s Get Down to Business
Prickly pear is a cactus plant that is native to the Americas, and it can be grown in different types of soil as long as there is good drainage.
The time it takes for your garden prickly pear plants to reach maturity will depend on various factors such as the climate, soil type, water availability, fertilization frequency, pest control measures taken (if any), and other environmental conditions.
