My grape ivy just got a larger pot, fresh soil, and a haircut! My prickly pear got a bigger pot and some fresh cactus soil. Both are very happy and my prickly pear will stop tipping over.

How old is the cactus? Pretty cool🪴

I'm going to guess 5 years. It started in a 2 inch pot.

That would be about 5 years on the prickly pear. One in the background under The grape ivy is much older. My kids grew it in science in elementary school my youngest is 33.
