Opuntia ‘Baby Rita’ is a dwarf prickly pear cultivar known for its small, paddle-shaped pads and striking purple-to-blue-green coloration, which deepens under strong light and cool temperatures. Compared to larger Opuntia species, it stays relatively compact and container-friendly, making it a great choice for windowsills, sunny patios, and small gardens.

Like all prickly pears, it has glochids (tiny hair-like spines that can be irritating) so this is a “look, don’t touch” kind of plant.

How to Grow Indoors

Light
Bright light with as much direct sun as you can give it. A south- or west-facing window is ideal. Strong light encourages compact growth and rich purple tones.

Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out completely. During winter or low-light periods, water very sparingly. Overwatering is the fastest way to lose this plant.

Soil
Fast-draining cactus soil is essential. Adding extra pumice or coarse sand improves drainage further.

Temperature
Prefers warm conditions but tolerates cool nights well. Protect from frost indoors.

Humidity
No special requirements. Average indoor humidity is perfect.

Fertilizer
Optional. If desired, feed lightly with a diluted cactus fertilizer once or twice during spring and summer.

Growth Habit
Slow to moderate. Pads stack gradually, forming a low, sculptural clump over time.

How to Grow Outdoors

(San Francisco–specific)

Opuntia ‘Baby Rita’ does very well outdoors in San Francisco.

  • Thrives in full sun to very bright exposure

  • Excellent in containers or raised beds with sharp drainage

  • Tolerates cool coastal temperatures and occasional winter rain if soil drains quickly

This is a great low-maintenance cactus for sunny decks, patios, and xeriscape-style plantings.

🌸 Blooming

Under strong light and outdoor conditions, mature plants may produce bright pink-magenta flowers in spring or early summer, followed by small ornamental fruits.

🐾 Pet Safety

Not pet safe.
According to ASPCA guidance for Opuntia species, ingestion may cause irritation, and glochids pose a physical hazard. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

⚠️ Notes & Tips

  • Always handle with tongs or thick gloves—glochids are sneaky

  • Purple coloration is a sign of strong light, not stress

  • Perfect for collectors who want a colorful cactus without a massive footprint

These are definitely indestructible
Size: Medium
Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.

Best Card in My Wallet!
Having this card from Prime/ Sync has made things so much easier ! I order something & then go to cart & pay with my Prime card, nothing more. I don’t need to worry about theft or further actions or delays. It’s a done deal & I have more time added to make an additional purchase if I need to in case I forget something. I love this card 💞. So easy, I buy more here cause it’s faster, safer, & all in one easy step & Amazon has just about everything there is so why not ? Best card in my wallet !!!

2026 it has saved me
I never wanted a store card only! When I first applied I was bummed that I only got the store card and I thought about canceling it. BUT A lot has changed this year for sure. New grandparents, grocery being so EXPENSIVE and everything in our house as far as electronics needed to be replaced. Very easy to apply for, love the fact that you can apply without getting a hit on your credit and if you want to accept the offer then do so and if you decide that it’s not enough credit then you can decline the offer and no hit to your credit. I will say this, this was the lowest card that I was offered but I chose to get it anyway and within a month I had already received a credit line increase. I also took a trip out of the country and was able to order stuff and have it delivered with no problems. Every time I use it I get cash back and am able to use that on my next order. This is my weekly card for groceries. I definitely can’t wait until it upgrades to the visa, I would definitely get more use out of it. For those who are Amazon shoppers, it’s well worth it. So far so good, Good Choice.

Good, but you need to be careful with it
I've done business with GE CRB before using other store cards, so I knew what to expect going into this. I will echo the advice that a few others have given. For one, I would recommend that you only use this card for one purchase at a time and that you pay it off entirely before using the card again. The interest starts accruing immediately, but you are not billed for it until the promotional term expires - for example 6 months, 12 months, etc. You will see the expiration date and accrued interest amount on your bill. I always make sure I can pay off the entire amount well before the expiration date. Also, I schedule automatic payments through the website so it's paid every two weeks (pay day works well for me). I divide the balance by number of payments and schedule all of them right away. It's very easy to do this and will prevent late payment fees and the possibility of defaulting and getting hit with the accrued interest. I haven't had to deal directly with GE CRB customer service yet, so I don't have any complaints on that. The benefit of having a card like this is being able to use it for major purchases, paying it off over time, and avoiding any interest charges because you are paying off the balance before the promotional term (deferred interest) expires. You can't do that with a regular credit card. If you want a card to make frequent purchases with and plan on paying off the balance at the end of the month, you're much better off with a regular credit card. One warning... I noticed that after I was approved for this card my method of payment for Kindle one click purchases changed to this card. Keeping it that way would not be good and I wanted to make sure others know about this. I'm pretty sure you'd be hit with the interest at the end of the month since the purchases you would be making are lower than what's required to receive the no interest promotions. I changed it back to my debit card. Just keep on top of the account, don't use it to make a bunch of purchases, and pay the balance off before the promotional terms expire and you'll be fine. Like all credit, being responsible is the key to not getting in trouble with it.
