To successfully grow a prickly pear cactus from a cutting, follow these steps:
- Allow the cutting to dry for a few days to form a callus.
- Plant the cutting in well-draining soil and water sparingly.
- Place the cutting in a sunny location with indirect sunlight.
- Monitor the soil moisture and adjust watering as needed.
- With proper care, the cutting should root and grow into a new prickly pear cactus.
