## Description

Review: Good Find - But Be Aware of What You Are Buying - I've seen several reviewers complain that the product they received wasn't purple. That is actually to be expected, since "purple" cacti only have a purple hue during colder months and periods of drought. They will fluctuate from purple to greyish green in-between times. The 3 cactus paddles I received are grayish green in color, and nice and plump. I planted them in a pot a few weeks ago and am watering them very sparingly so they will root but not rot. We are still having consecutive days in the upper 90s/100 degree range, with zero rain, so they can handle a light watering once a week or every 10 days. But I'll reduce that to once every three weeks or less as it gets cooler. I'll update on how they are doing over the winter. Right now I'm taking it on faith that they will actually turn purple when it gets cold. Fyi "cold" for central TX is around 40-45 degrees. The cactus will have to be taken inside or well covered and protected if left outside in a freeze. But even good protection will see it die-back and likely not return the following spring. So, once established in the ground, I always break off and re-pot a couple of paddles as back-up.
Review: Healthy - I stuck these cuttings in the dirt, and they are growing nicely with almost no care at all. They have all sprouted an extra ear; one of them has two. They have all color is a cool lavender ish color which will compliment the other greens in my garden. They were a little pricey, but they work for me so I’m happy with them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Size of Spears
*by R***S on June 18, 2025*

Arrived promptly and was impressed with size of cuttings but warning: handle with thongs because the tiny needles are deadly! I have planted them but have to wait to see if a new budget appears.
