Thanks very much Puncture -thats great information.You certainly know your cacti. I think my plants resemble the second picture more.The variety I have is Opuntia Elata and was recommended especially suitable for feeding to tortoises.I would like to try and get as many plants growing from my original four plants as I can as I do have a number of torts and some babies on the way too.If I wanted to start another plant growing do I tear off a pad/cut off a pad and place in water or straight into soil .Will it just grow roots in time ? Thanks for your time in answering my qery -much appreciated.
Kind Regards
