**Middle Name:** Thorny Cactus
**Scientific Name:** *Opuntia vulgaris* Mill.
**Family and Genus:** Opuntia (a genus of cacti)
**Morphology:**
This is a perennial, evergreen, small shrub-like herb that can grow up to 2-3 meters in height. It features multiple branches, with young stems being flat and oblong in shape, measuring approximately 15-25 cm in length and 9-11 cm in width. The color of the young stems ranges from dark green to gray-green, and they typically have few or no spines. The main stem, on the other hand, is round and has a dark gray-brown bark.
The plant produces flowers at the top of new stems, both on the sides. These flowers are cylindrical in shape, about 5-6 cm long, and lack a developed corolla. They are deep red in color, with both the female and male parts extending beyond the flower structure. The fruit is semi-circular, dark purple, and edible. The flowering period usually occurs between January and March.
**Growth Habits:**
The thornless cactus is native to India and thrives in hot, humid, sunny climates. It prefers deep, acidic soil and does not tolerate shade. It is drought-resistant and can withstand poor soil conditions. However, it is sensitive to cold temperatures and grows best in a temperature range of 22-30°C. This species is commonly cultivated for its ornamental value as well as for its edible fruits. Its unique appearance and resilience make it a popular choice for gardeners in warmer regions.
