I want to cut pods of my prickly pear cactus and make new ones?

It's really very simple. Here's a site a href="http://www.coopext.colostate.edu/4DMG/Xeris/pearcact.htm" rel="nofollow"http://www.coopext.colostate.edu/4DMG/Xe…/a You can do more research just google the term "propagating prickly pear" or "propagating optunia" You'll need a looser soil though here's the recipe I use. Use a fine mix of 1/3 washed sand, 1/3 cactus compost, and 1/3 perlite. Mix it
