Opuntia cochenillifera 'Paddle Cactus'

  • Product Info

    Meet the Opuntia cochenillifera, aka the Paddle Cactus - a classic cactus with a seriously cool, sculptural look. Its flat, rounded pads grow one on top of another, creating a distinctive branching shape that looks amazing in modern interiors.

    With its fresh green colour and naturally architectural form, this cactus brings instant desert vibes without taking up loads of space. As it grows, new paddles emerge to create an ever-changing silhouette, making every plant unique.

    Bold, easy-going, and effortlessly stylish, the Paddle Cactus is a great choice for anyone who loves statement plants with a minimalist edge.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Loves plenty of bright light and sunshine. A sunny windowsill is ideal. Gradually introduce it to strong direct sunlight to prevent scorching.

    Water:
    Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Water much less frequently during winter.

    Soil:
    Use a very well-draining cactus or succulent mix with plenty of grit or perlite to prevent excess moisture around the roots.
