Like Divy said, just stick em' in the ground and don't get all anal!! It's real cool growing them cause you kinda forget and all of a sudden you see the flower/fruit pop up(about 3 years in our zone). All the thorns or points on the fruit itself bloom little purple flowers. We let them "vine ripin" and fall off the stem then eat them right away. Then you cut the top off of that one and replant it. Also heard that you can use 2 inches of the stem (the part under the fruit) and it will root too! Doing a test with 2 in a 8" pot with cactus soil. Seems that these took off real fast. Happy planting!
