04 Beautiful Plants That You Can Grow Indoors

The Opuntia Verschaffeltii is a cactus plant that grows slowly and is bushy with slender cylindrical stems. The ones normally cultivated have stemmed slightly thicker than a pencil and are generally without spines. The stems range can be 10 to 12 centimeters (4 to 5 inches) long, with some of the stems being much shorter and in the form of tiny spheres. As already stated, this plant takes a long time to grow. However, once it grows significantly, it produces red flowers at the tips of the stems.

The plant becomes very untidy after some years, and it would be a good idea to take out a stem and plant it separately in order to start a new plant. The Opuntia Verschaffeltii tolerates low but dry temperatures. During the summer months, it requires more water than other cactus species. It is a very interesting plant to grow for cactus lovers, and it can be very rewarding with flowers once it reaches a certain age and size.
