Оpuntia (Prickly pear)

I took these photos of Opuntia in a plant nursery No. 2.
Some Opuntia for sale, and some grew up in the owners ’yard.
They write that Opuntia at home almost never blooms.
I planted 3 cuttings, all of them rooted. Now I will wait for the result.
I really want to achieve its flowering and get its fruits.
I do not like the taste of Opuntia fruits, and my son eats them with pleasure.
But I like her flowering.
Therefore, to me - admiring her flowers, to my son - her fruits (I hope!)

The root system of Opuntia is weak, superficial and the pot for it needs a shallow but wide one.
Opuntia is transplanted with an earthen lump.
After transplantation, it is not watered for a week.
Young Opuntia up to the age of three, transplanted annually.
And adult plants no more than once every 3-4 years, in the spring, before the start of active growth.

Bisexual flowers: yellow, orange or bright red colors.

During rest, Opuntia is kept at a temperature of + 5-7 ˚C.
Prickly pears develop well at temperatures from +25 to + 35˚C.

From prickly pears, oil, glue, pectin, food dyes are produced, it is used for the manufacture of deodorants and detergents.
They are also used in cooking, cosmetology and medicine. From Opuntia, a food coloring of red color is obtained - carmine. The fruits of Opuntia are rich in vitamin C. Syrup and jam are cooked from them.
