Sometimes known botanically as Nopalea cochenillifera f. variegata, this thornless species is commonly called Velvet or Warm Hand Cactus. The flat pads have an interesting green on green variegation, and are without those punishing prickers. Plants can grow 3-4' tall and wide. Like most succulents, it likes well drained soil and a sun location.
