Opuntia rufida minima monstrose is a small cactus that is slow growing and reaches only about 10-12 inches tall. Also known as Miniature Cinnamon cactus, the pads are covered with cinnamon-brown, barbed bristles rather than spines. It thrives in full sun, direct sun, and needs well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Water regularly during the warm months and very light water during winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods. Protect from frost it prefers warm, dry conditions; hardy to roughly 25-30 F.  Monstrose means it grows in an abnormal, often ruffled, or clumped manner rather than the standard flat, oval pad shape.
