This listing is for one approximately 2–3 inch rooted starter plant, sold as Opuntia cochenillifera (also known as Nopalea cochenillifera). Mature plants develop broad green pads and may produce distinctive reddish-pink flowers when grown in suitable conditions. Please note: The photos show mature plants and seasonal stages. The plant you receive is a young rooted starter and will be smaller than the mature specimens pictured. Natural variation in shape, color, and number of pads is expected. Why Choose This Rooted Starter Plant Receive a live, rooted plant—not seeds or an unrooted cutting Compact 2–3 inch starting size for easy potting and establishment Drought resistant once established in well-drained soil Suitable for sunny outdoor spaces in warm climates or container growing elsewhere Mature plants can develop showy reddish-pink flowers What’s in the Pack Quantity: 1 live rooted Cochineal Nopal Prickly Pear starter plant Approximate size at shipment: 2–3 inches Ships carefully wrapped for transit; decorative pot is not included Shipped from Palm Bay, Florida, USA Planting Instructions Unpack the plant promptly and inspect it after arrival. Plant the roots in a small container with drainage holes using a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Place in bright light and gradually acclimate the young plant to full sun. Water lightly after planting, then allow the soil to dry between waterings. Never leave the roots in standing water. For outdoor growing, this species is best suited to approximately USDA growing zones 9–11. In colder climates, keep it in a movable container and protect it from frost. Handling note: Prickly pear plants may have or develop tiny barbed glochids even when large spines are limited. Wear gloves and handle with care. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Is this listing for seeds or a live plant? It is for one live, rooted starter cactus. It is not a packet of seeds and not an unrooted pad. 2. What size plant will I receive? The selected size is approximately 2–3 inches at shipment. Because this is a living plant, exact height, pad shape, and growth stage will vary. 3. Will the starter plant look like the photos? The photos show the species at several mature and flowering stages. Your starter plant will be smaller and may not have flowers or fruit when it arrives. 4. Can I grow it indoors? Yes. In colder regions, grow it in a container near a very bright window or under a suitable grow light, with excellent drainage and careful watering. 5. What growing zones are suitable outdoors?

Japanese Snowball Viburnum Live Plant Create a spring focal point with the layered branches and rounded white flower clusters of Japanese Snowball Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum). This deciduous flowering shrub brings fresh green foliage through summer, seasonal color in fall, and a graceful branching form in winter. Why Choose This Japanese Snowball Viburnum? Showy spring flowers: white clusters create the classic “snowball” display. Four-season structure: attractive foliage, fall color, and architectural branching. Flexible placement: grows in full sun or partial shade. Landscape versatility: useful as a specimen shrub, flowering border, or informal screen. Nursery-grown live plant: arrives rooted and ready to establish in your garden. What You Will Receive One live Japanese Snowball Viburnum in a 2.5-inch nursery pot. Plants are typically 6–12 inches tall, but natural height, branching, and fullness vary. Depending on the season, your plant may arrive actively growing, recently pruned, or dormant. Product photos include mature examples; blooms are not guaranteed at delivery. Planting & Care Choose a site in full sun to partial shade with room for a broad, mature shrub. Plant in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and no deeper than the existing soil line. Backfill gently, water thoroughly, and add mulch without covering the stem base. Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes; avoid standing water. Prune after flowering only as needed for shape or to remove damaged growth. Growing range: USDA Zones 5–8. Mature size varies by climate and pruning; allow approximately 8–12 feet for long-term growth. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Is this a live plant or seeds? This listing is for one rooted live plant in a 2.5-inch nursery pot, not seeds. 2. How large will the plant be when it arrives? Plants are typically 6–12 inches tall. Because this is a living nursery product, exact height, branching, and leaf density vary. 3. Will it arrive in bloom? Not necessarily. Japanese Snowball Viburnum normally flowers in spring, and the plant may arrive without blooms or leaves depending on season and climate. 4. How much sun does it need? Plant in full sun or partial shade. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help reduce stress while the plant establishes. 5. What type of soil is best? Use moderately fertile soil that stays moist but drains well. Avoid sites where water remains pooled around the roots. 6. When should I plant it? Plant when the ground is workable and extreme heat or hard freezes are not expected. Water regularly during the first growing season to support root establishment.
