Scientific Name
Opuntia vulgaris (common plant from Opus)

Common Name
Indian Fig Opuntia, Barbary Fig, Cactus Pear, Spineless Cactus, Prickly Pear

Origin
Native to South America, from Brazil to Uruguay; now naturalised elsewhere including in Australia and South Africa.

Description
This cactus' unusual shape really makes it stands out. Its large leaves are shaped like paddles, round and branching off each other, usually in pairs. The blue-green colour of this cactus is interrupted by the large spikes protruding from it; watch your fingers around this one! As this plant grows, it extends upwards and outwards as more paddle-like pads are sprouted, so choose this interesting-looking shrub to put in your brightest window.

Light

Thrives best in bright light; will love your brightest windowsill (try South-facing if in doubt!).

Water

Allow all the soil to dry out between watering; if the pads curl it may have too much sun and too little water; if it starts to grow mushy or rot at the roots, likely too much water and too little sun.

Humidity
Low humidity is perfect for cacti; a hose down to clean now and again is fine as long as the plant dries and doesn't sit damp.

Soil
Needs a well-draining pot and potting mix; look for specific 'cacti and succulent' soils with plenty of sand and other well-draining materials. Only repot if absolutely necessary: use the next size pot up, repot in the spring, and no more frequently than every three years.

Food
Feed every two months in the growing season, and every three in autumn and winter. Use 'cactus' labelled feed.

Temperature

Likes temperatures of 20-32°C; don't let it drop below 10°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.

Sprouts Top Tips
This is a flowering variety; to make it more likely you'll see the blooms, let it have a proper dormancy in autumn/winter with lower temperatures and less frequent watering and fertilising, and then increase these as the weather warms. The warmer the cactus is in summer, the more likely you'll see flowers!

Good value, very useful for go kart wiring
Size: 100ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
It's a good spool to have around to wire lights and things on the go karts. Also came in handy when I had to patch a bit of melted wire harness on the tail of the old Dodge.

Beware! Very thick wire
Size: 50ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
I'm not going to ding the product, because it's totally what it says it is. I didn't look at the diagrams to see that this wire is 10mm wide. Almost half an inch. Waaaay to thick for the project I needed it for.

Fantastic to do 1 run and power multiple loads
Size: 30ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
Great for wiring up multiple loads. In my case multiple lighting with different switches so that I can turn them on independently from one another.
