Opuntia Argentina

I started out with one little cutting now...The #thorns on this #cactus has played its role in showing its place in the garden in just a yr. Still being a #tenderfoliage it has to be protected in the winter months. #argentina

Awesome cactus! 🌵

Thxs Kyla..I've babies it,now I gotta bring it in and keep myself from getting holes in myself..lol..I don't need to leak after drinking anything..bwahaha!😂😂 @PunkyKy

Ow

Duct tape to help remove prickers

Terry, I just heard this same #advice earlier today. Lol. I have always used glue and peeled thorns out with dry glue removal. @moore.794

@moore.794 @lovestogarden Wow! TY both for the advice...will definitely keep both close by. DUCT TAPE IS GOOD FOR IT ALL...LOL!!😁😂😂 redneck uses are always in..😮😉😆☺😊😂

Loving new home🌵 I almost lost it in the move. So can't wait to see her shine🌞 #macro #cactus #rockgarden It is a #tendercactus so it comes inside a few weeks before the chill of fall. #houseplant #springgarden #springtime

Nice!

LOOKIE👀LOOKIE👀I'M GROWING EVERYWHERE!🙆💖

@mhomewood6 it can be called: jointed cacti, variety of prickly pear, or even been called a tiger paw. But,with my research I've found more of the Jointed Cacti name to be common

Growing Crazy! #crazycactus DEFINITELY. ..LOL!

@Acetaker oh wow it's a cactus? It has so much growth I couldn't tell at first🌵🙂

Haha thought it was basil

@blocher this is the Cactus that took forever for us to find the name for. It started out as a SM bugger and TADA! @whatisdirt nope just a unfortunate fizzy pic..lol!😊

Yes,it sounds that way but not all cacti bloom. @mhomewood6

*ARGENTINA OPTUNIA* This is an update of this cacti that My GT Buddies and I have been looking for. @lilium @Frankenstank I'd like to say,"Ty! I believe this is it!."🙅🙆It's growing Crazy and Happy😂 I'm posting a closeup of this beauty as well😊

I'm glad you did it. Sorry didn't make to look it for you yesterday, had some job to do. 😞

No problem...I appreciate all u have done to help. 😊

Help me identify this plant,Plz. 😊 I know it's in the succulent family,but it is soft but the thorns are soft as well as the leaves.

Possibly Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis?

This looks a little like Christmas cactus, minus the blooms. Scientific name is Schlumbergera. It may at least be in the family.

@tiggrx @elainab TY! I will give it a ck😊

#plantID @Muzz67 @becky

Wow ....not sure ...I haven't seen this one...looks very healthy...maybe when it flowers ID is easier?

@Muzz67 I was thinking the same thing. ☺ it does look very healthy, I'm going to repot it today and let her do her thing,and with hopes soon will see.😊

@teamgardentags would you know what this little gal might be?

@succulentandfriends would you know what this one might be?😊

@Acetaker looks like Christmas cactus. But I'm not sure until I see the flowers. 😊😊😊

@succulentandfriends Yes that's what I figured to identify it fully but was in hope that all my Greenthumb Friends may be able to give it a try.😊☺

It might just be a Christmas Cactus or Schlumbergera bridgesii @Acetaker Chris but its leaves are quite wide ....is it the same one that a piece broke off ? If so with any succulent you would let it callous over a bit then pot it up I think 😆
