Cultivar

The plant likes full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. It is suitable for rock gardens or portable containers.

Water the plant in the pot after the substrate has dried out. Do not water in winter.

The plant is frost-resistant and can withstand temperatures down to -25 °C.

TIP for you:

For winter protection, a dry and well-drained location is sufficient – cacti can withstand frost as long as their roots are not waterlogged.

Opuntia fragilis Freiburg is a small cactus belonging to the genus Opuntia. It is offered under the designation “Freiburg”, without further specification of origin or taxonomic status.

The plant has segmented stems typical of opuntias and forms a low, compact growth habit. The individual segments are small, and overall it remains a small cactus suitable for limited space.

The flowers are yellow in color. They appear during the growing season and contrast with the body of the plant.

For cultivation, a very well-draining substrate and a sunny position are recommended. Watering should be kept limited and adjusted to conditions so that the substrate does not remain waterlogged for long periods. Thanks to its small size and simple requirements, Opuntia fragilis Freiburg fits well into smaller outdoor or collector plantings.
