need live spineless prickly pear plants- in NV

[christykindness]

I am looking for some live plants, preferably with fruit. Please don't say you have pads, I've tried growing from cuts, with no luck, I'm really looking for the lazy way out here, I know when to admit I'm beat, and the darn prickly pears have me beat. My oldest gal loves them though, and I love her. Thanks in advance!

Home Depot? Buy a well started plant and transfer to a sand/soil mix without fertilizers.

I have processed opuntia cactus "Cactus Chips" where no green thumb is required at all.

I have live spineless plants, but in order to box them up for shipping I will need to remove some of the pads. The removed pads can be used to feed your tortoises while the rooted plants get settled in and start producing new pads, I do not charge for the plants, just the cost of shipping them. I ship using the USPS flat rate boxes. You can find them on their web site to get the exact cost. The large size is under $20. I also have extra fruit that I can send also.

I've been trying for about five years. You wouldn't believe it, My farm is a lush green wonderland in the middle of the desert- and I can't root some lousy cactus? REALLY? LOL the irony!

I got my pads from a Mexican grocery store, 4 pads for 99cents. I put them in a clay pot, fill water, and ignore them, few weeks later I see roots then I put these in seperate pots with cactus soil and they are doing just fine.
