Looking to add a dash of desert charm to your indoor oasis? Then go no further than the Algerian Cactus Pear—the quirky, sun-loving succulent.
This succulent sensation is unlike any other, thanks to its unusual paddle-shaped pads and bright, pear-shaped fruits, which are produced after flowering and are also edible. Perfect for that sunny spot where little else will grow, and watch it thrive as it reaches for the rays, soaking up the sun's energy like a true sun-worshipper.
Caring for your Algerian Cactus Pear is a breeze. Water sparingly, letting the soil dry out between drinks, and ensure excellent drainage to prevent soggy roots. It's perfect for forgetful plant parents! Plus, it's a low-maintenance, pet-friendly addition to your home.
Pair it with a bold planter for a unique talking point, and let it be the quirky, sunny-side-up succulent that's bound to steal the spotlight in your indoor plant display!
Please note: Cactus Pears are not considered toxic, though best to keep out of reach of plant chewers, to keep them looking their best.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these handy tips to keep your Cactus Pear happy and healthy.
-
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
-
Light: Place in a sunny spot; Cactus Pears love lots of bright, direct sunlight.
-

- Fertilize: Feed with a diluted solution of feed, once a month, during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertiliser.
Remember, less is more with your Cactus Pear. Keep it simple, and it will thrive with minimal fuss!
