 Hello,
I've been given some "leaves" (what's the name?) of prickly pear. I'd like some hints for the best way to root these.
All advises will be appreciated

Hi Rajesh,
From what I read on the Net, rooting Opuntia cuttings is fairly easy :
- allow the cuttings to heal off for a few weeks (a couple of weeks should do the trick) and then plant them directly in the ground.
- Can be done in the growing season, E.g May to August.
Good luck with your cuttings  | |

Got some opuntia ficus indica pads from a trip to Florida, put them in a little soil, one had three or four little pads coming out of it, but then it suddenly started to rot. Why? I only watered it a couple of times in the month I had them. Any ideas?
