Prickly pears and other Opuntia species are very popular desert cacti grown as houseplants. They are highly ornamental, made up of segmented stems of wide, flat, thick pads that are covered in spines.
Indoors prickly pears need a brightly lit position, preferably a south-facing or west-facing window with good, all-round light. They need 4-6 hours of direct sunshine in summer.
