The prickly pear I have had for about a year and a half. I knew less about plants then and even now I know next to nothing. But I picked it up as a fallen chunk from a large bush (tree?) and grew it pretty successfully in that pot. It sprouted the two "ears" and has since stopped. Now it's turning brown. I really haven't done much with it at all and I'm sure the soil is wrong.

The one in the ground was here when I moved in about 2 weeks ago. It looks almost completely dead, but I know cacti are hearty. What do you think?

I live in central Florida (9b I believe).
