Thanks!

[@JakePow]

These look great! I'm from Cincy also, what medium are these planted in to prevent rotting from all the rain?

[@cincytropics]

Thank you so much! Believe it or not just a mixture of coarse paving sand and pea gravel!

[@palmtreedude]

Very nice!

[@cincytropics]

Have you ever seen opuntia galopogense it is very huge it isn’t very cold hardy but it would be cool to grow in a pot.

[@cincytropics]

I have not!

[@Youdontknowmeson1324]

@@cincytropics have you tried growing opuntia pyrocarpa it’s suppose to be hardy to zone 7 and grows huge fruit.

[@cincytropics]

I have not! But I have a zone 6b/7a hardy yucca treculeana!

[@Youdontknowmeson1324]

@@cincytropics cold hardy cacti has them on Etsy and more species of yucca and opuntia and rainbow farms has opuntia occidentalis, opuntia cyomile and opuntia pyrocarpa. I’m going to test pyrocarpa in zone 6.
