must-have ! Cactus pad cuttings

Cutting of prickly pear cactus
Prickly pears are flavorful fruits that are packed with nutrients, including vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. They also provide protective plant compounds, such as betalains, that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the body

To plant:
Prepare the soil: Use a cactus potting mix or a mixture of soil, coarse sand, and perlite. Fill a pot with drainage holes.
Plant the cutting: Insert the base of the cutting into the soil so it stands upright.
Water: Water the pot thoroughly and place it on a toasty windowsill.
Monitor the cutting: Check on the cutting and water it when the compost feels dry.
Transplant: When the cutting is ready, choose a larger pot and gently tease out the roots.
