Opuntia fragilis cuttings

Post by Driller64 »

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I want some Opuntia fragilis cuttings for grafting experiments. I would prefer them free, and I'll pay for shipping as soon as I receive a prepaid credit card I sent away for recently. But if you want to pay for shipping yourself that's fine too.

EDIT: Would also prefer the spineless form.

Would Opuntia humifusa work? Mine are completely shriveled for the winter, as would O. fragilis.

Opuntia fragilis is fatter. O. humifusa is kind of thin.

Already got some O. humifusa from a plant I found in the ground near my house. It's too thin.

Bump. I can now pay for the cuttings because I recently found a way to put cash into my PayPal account without getting involved in some scam; non reloadable gift cards for Visa. It's a little inefficient since I have to remove the credit card once I use all the money in it, but it's the best thing I've got right now until I get a real credit card (which I can't get cause I'm 17 right now).
