Opuntia ficus Indica ('Nopal') - Non-Hardy Prickly Pear Cactus

Non-Hardy Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a prickly pear cactus, also known as nopal, with flat, paddle-shaped pads. Give it plenty of bright light and a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix, and let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
