What is Pereskiopsis spathulata?

• Pereskiopsis spathulata is a type of cactus, but unlike the typical “fat, spiny cactus” people imagine, it looks more like a leafy shrub.
• It’s part of the Cactaceae family (the cactus family), but it has real leaves — which is rare for cacti.
• Native to Mexico and parts of the southwestern U.S..

🌟 Special use:

• It’s super famous as a “grafting stock” in cactus cultivation.
  • People graft tiny, slow-growing cactus seedlings onto Pereskiopsis spathulata stems because it grows fast and forces the grafted cactus to grow quicker.

🌱 Key features:

• Woody stems that can get quite tall and branch out.
• Fleshy, paddle-shaped leaves (“spathulata” means “spoon-shaped” in Latin).
• Tiny spines grow from areoles (those little cactus bumps).
• Grows faster than most cacti because it photosynthesizes through its leaves.
• It loves warmth, light, and regular watering during the growing season.
