  • Purple Prickly Pear Cactus is a rare, compact cactus known for its vibrant, seasonal color shifts. It has flat, paddle-shaped pads that vary in color from soft blue and green to shades of purple, with the most vibrant purple hues appearing during cooler months or under direct sun exposure. The surface of the pads is adorned with scattered clusters of tiny, sharp spines, giving it a textured look. These spines can be yellow, brown, or light tan. The pads sometimes feature slightly raised bumps where the spines emerge. In spring, this plant produces bright yellow flowers that provide a striking contrast to the colorful pads. 
    • This dwarf cactus usually reaches about 1 to 2 feet in height and has a clumping growth habit, making it perfect for both garden beds and container displays. Native to the dry areas of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, it thrives in rocky, well-draining soil under full sun.

      This cactus’ slow growth and eye-catching appearance make it a highly sought-after specimen for plant collectors. Its heat tolerance, drought resistance, and moderate frost hardiness make it ideal for low-maintenance gardening and indoor cultivation. As this plant is small in size and requires minimal care, it is perfect for indoor environments, where it can be showcased on a sunny windowsill or in a bright room.
    • All of the plants may be shipped bare root. 
  • This cactus thrives in full sun to light shade, requiring at least 6-8 hours of light daily for optimal growth. For vibrant coloring, full sun and bright light is recommended. 

    Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil. Fertilization is minimal—apply a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season, once or twice a year.

    Water sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot; aim for deep watering sessions once every few weeks during the growing season and reduce significantly in winter.

    This cactus is very versatile and can thrive in most indoor environments. It is frost-hardy up to 10° F but should be protected from prolonged exposure to extremely cold temperatures. 

    While not highly toxic, the spines and glochids can cause irritation if touched or ingested by humans and pets. It's advisable to keep the plant out of reach of children and animals and handle it carefully to avoid skin irritation.

Looks nice, easy to install
Color: Rustic Brown, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
This shelf is lightweight, looks nice, and was easy to install. It comes with a little level to help you install it properly. There are plenty of mounting holes to choose from, so it is easy to screw it directly into a stud, or to just use holes that are convenient for you. It comes with a plethora of mounting hardware. I mounted mine a bit high up and chose to mount it upside down so that I wouldn't see the three screws that hold the shelf to the mounting bracket.

Great value!
Color: Ink Black, Size: 2 pack
Really sturdy and a great value for the money. Almost idiot proof when putting it together, too. The drawing is very specific, and everything is really well marked and numbered. This isn’t fine furniture, but it really is a great value for the money!
