Optunia are a desert plant that thrive in bright, hot and dry conditions. Direct sunlight is preferable but keep away from areas of high humidity. If your south facing windowsill is prone to condensation, make sure the Opuntia isn't touching the glass. Water when the soil has completely dried out, and in cooler months you can leave the soil dry for a few weeks before watering again. Use a free-draining cactus compost when re-potting your Opuntia, but this only needs to be done every few years. You can feed with a cactus and succulent fertiliser during spring and summer in between.
