Cactus ID w. Pics - Help Please
    #24031475 - 01/22/17 06:41 PM (7 years, 8 days ago)

I've had this cactus and its spawn for over 25 years, originally purchased from a NJ super market so it could have come from anywhere. Can't tell you much about it, as I'm new to cacti. See pics.

It's an Opuntia, and it could do with a lot more light. :wink:

A few minutes of searching always reveal just about everything about anything and its contrary. Choose your sources wisely before starting to consume whatever comes your way.

yeah, good point. i searched it on here after my googling and found it not too suitable. interesting none the less.  will have to start some psychedelic ones soon as i've had good success with this one of the years, atleast in terms of keeping it alive and replanting it

It may not be opuntia, the pads look too thin. Definitely some opuntioid. I forget the specific genus. I have a similar plant that I grew from some pads I snagged from a Mexican restaurant.

I'd still say it's an Opuntia, just really etiolated due to lack of light. I've seen tons that grow just like this in stores.
