I was mailed Nopales pads from someones backyard from another state. Where I live Nopales will not survive outside. I put the pads into a pot and placed them in an eastern garden window in middle of July.
I have been very pleasantly surprised with a whole lot of new growth on the pads. And the new pads are growing fast!
My question is-Should I repot the pads into individual pots? I don't know how big they will get as indoor houseplants and if I should repot before they get too big?
Our winters are long and dark and will soon be here. Should I used artificial light for my Nopales?
I would appreciate any info on growing Nopales inside.
Thank you!
