Opuntias grow with water, right temperatures, right soil and sufficent attention.
They show a remarkable abilty to come back from cold, scorching heat or neglect. But if you treat them well, they will surprise you with growth, flowers and some more growth.

Puna bonniae

This plant comes from Argentia, province Catamarca. Also named Maihuenopsis bonniae and Tephorcactus bonniae.
I find this plant relatively easy to grow in my mineral mixture. I also grow this plant in my unheated greenhouse, where so far it survived mnus 8°C.
