Hello there, on a trip to northern Cyprus i brought back a prickly pear cactus fruit, it was green and had fallen off. i brought it back and put it into a pot to grow. no luck, so i used some rooting hormone on it to get it started, bingo! now it has a massive straight trunk 10 inches tall out the the side of the fruit with prickles and other cylindrical shaped leaves sticking out all the way up! This is not how i remember prickly pear cacti looking…. no sign of a pad anywhere! any ideas guys? help much appreciated

First of all, this wasn’t the best idea; transporting vegetation can result in invasion of native plants, introduction of insects, disease, etc. without natural checks, and all sorts of nasty things. Please keep it confined to your home, away from your garden.
Secondly, you have cloned the parent plant. Either the parent was a prickly pear, and just hasn’t begun to resemble one yet, or it was an entirely different plant, which may or may not resemble a prickly pear.
