Prickly Pear Cactus Pads

1 Pound of Prickly Pear Cactus Paddles also known as the Vegetable Cactus, Nopal Verde or Paddle Cactus. This hardy sun loving plant will become a real eye-catcher within just a few short years. Nopal have few pests are very drought tolerant. They grow with little care as long as they have plenty of sun & no frost. Frost kills succulents, do not plant outdoors if it freezes in your area. Nopal is widely used in Mexican cooking. Easy to Grow! Plant Upright to produce one plant or lay flat on the ground to make many baby plants around the edge of the paddle. Feed the whole pads to your adult tortoise and slice the pads thinly for your baby tortoise. LONG SHELF LIFE: Pads have a long shelf life of weeks. I have had some on the kitchen counter for months without them going bad.
