    Don’t fuck with cacti. They live in an inhospitable place and take years to grow. Prickly pear cacti are more sustainable than other varieties, but still take years to mature. Enjoy them for what they are and leave them alone.

      These are cultivated nopales. They grow lots of new pads every year for harvest. This is like scratching a picture on a apple.

        The plants still take 6 to 7 years to mature. If you think broadcasting that you can fuck up nopales because they produce paddles annually, you’re not promoting an environment that’s sustainable for the nopales.

        You do you… but I think it’s not cool to fuck with them.

          I appreciate your intentions my friend. But I guarantee to you that nopale graffiti is not a problem.
