• Opuntia monacantha f. monstruosa variegata commonly known as “Joseph's Coat” is one of the very few naturally occurring white-variegated cacti. It is a dwarf, teratological variant of the larger Prickly Pear cactus Opuntia monacantha.
• As its name suggests, this cactus is variegated or marbled with white, creamy-white, yellow, green and sometimes also with pink in varying patterns.
• It is an odd shrubby or tree-like plant that forms wonderfully tortured shapes usually less than 50 cm tall, but occasionally up to 1 m or more metres tall. To many it looks stretched or etiolated due to lack of light, but its actually a monstrous form.
• Variegated cacti are regarded as choice and difficult in cultivation, but Opuntia monacantha f. monstruosa is easy to grow on its own roots and very common in cultivation. It is a freely branching species that reproduces readily by cutting, recommended for any collection that needs lots of heat with ample airflow.
