Who do you plant the Prickly pear pads? Can they grow indoors?
Thanks
I'm no RobYN but I am Rob, does that count?
I am growing mine indoors, but I plan to take the cacti outside during the day for sun. And on days I can't do that, I will have grow lights going. So I am hoping they will grow indoors (I imagine they will), with the lights anyways.
I am assuming you meant "How do you plant" instead of "who". I used a 50% play sand/ 50% oragnic potting soil for the pots. The pots, from what I've read, shouldn't be TOO big, but Robyn says they grow so easily it shouldn't matter. You wait for the Pad to seal (no gooey-ness) and dry and then you plant the pad 2-3" deep.
Make sure to pat down the soil around the pad as they tend to fall if not firmly planted.
Hope this helps, soundwave.
