Hi Are any of these cacti safe for consumption? or just decor

..I want some cacti, they will love the lighting

and they dont mind be dry too

I have a cacti growing outside my house, Its huge...Almost upto the top window..Will get a pic when it stops raining Grrrr..

I think the Opuntia ones will be edible but best to check if all opuntia are edible first before feeding. my torts don't like it that much anyway

I think all opuntia are safe to eat, but I must admit I'm not 100%.

And my torts love cactus, they don't like aloe though, go figure.

I'm not sure if they have used pesticides tho, I'm sure I read that with succulent plants it stays in the plant alot longer, maybe even 2 years. Can someone please confirm this for me, if not Lidl here I come
