Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa
Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa
Family: Cactaceae
Cultivation
In cultivation, Cactus plants generally will not succeed in moist climates. They usually require a sunny position in a well-drained, circumneutral soil and to be kept more or less dry in the dormant season. The outer wall of the fruit is actually formed from stem material and, in many species of Cylindropuntia, once detached from the plant will form roots and grow into a new plant.
