Wheel Cactus – Opuntia Robusta

Cactus plants require plenty of sunlight to thrive. In the UAE, they should be placed in a location where they can receive direct sunlight for several hours each day. However, it’s essential to protect them from intense midday sun, especially during the hottest months, to prevent sunburn.

Opuntia robusta, commonly known as the Robusta Prickly Pear or Wheel Cactus, is a species of cactus native to Mexico. It belongs to the Cactaceae family and is renowned for its large, flat pads adorned with spines and vibrant flowers.
