My dad brought a start to Ohio and they flourished until my mom was afraid a neighbor would fall on them and sue them,so they were gotten rid of. I recently purchased four pads from a Texas nursery and am waiting for the callous to form so i can plant. I am keeping them indoors and need to know the best grow light and how long it should be on? i've searched sooooo many sites for this answer-I hope u can help.If possible please e-mail info to owingskimberly@yahoo.com thank u so much kimkimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-14906919644557223852014-08-22T18:36:35.478-04:002014-08-22T18:36:35.478-04:00In cultivation I grow them with great success in h...In cultivation I grow them with great success in heavy, alkaline, albeit well drained clay.Ronhttp://www.arbordoctor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7022216829037318291.post-66955976781180045902013-11-14T15:41:10.294-05:002013-11-14T15:41:10.294-05:00We have Opuntia humifusa west-northwest of Houston...We have Opuntia humifusa west-northwest of Houston flourishing on sandier Katy Prairie Conservancy lands.
