Variegated Prickly Pear Cactus

Bold, architectural, and wearing the most unexpectedly beautiful color combination in the cactus world — the Variegated Prickly Pear is a genuine head-turner. Its flat, paddle-shaped pads are splashed and streaked in green, creamy white, and warm pink-blush tones that deepen in color with more sun exposure, making every plant a slightly different, living work of art. Drought-tolerant, slow-growing, and effortlessly cool — this is statement succulent energy at its absolute finest.

Pro Tip: Handle with serious care — beyond the obvious larger spines, Prickly Pear pads are covered in tiny hairlike spines called glochids that are nearly invisible and incredibly irritating to skin. Always use thick gloves or folded newspaper when handling and repotting, never bare hands.
