    Hi all, if anyone has any Opuntia pads, rooted or unrooted they’d like to part with, please send me a PM and if possible the name of what you’ve got, and a price please inc. postage.
    Thanks in advance Lem.

    I've got a few different ones but not got names, got one flowering at the moment. DSC02053.JPG DSC02054.JPG DSC02055.JPG

    I tend to grow them outside as the ones I have get quickly out of control in pots and keep falling over.

      I've got some cuttings of what I think is an Opuntia or could be a type of chola. You can have a few. I could also cut a pad off an Opuntia if you like, It will grow more but it is not very friendly, the glochids are lethal, but you can have a pad if you like.

      My other Opuntias are hopeless.

      My photos are on my external hard drive I'll try to find them later on.

      Hi @Lem , I got your PM but I think you have done something that stops you getting any replies.
