Try growing a truly unique edible that also doubles as a striking and low maintenance house plant. Sweet fruits taste similar to melon and can be eaten raw or cooked as jam. The leaf pads can also be eaten, just be careful to remove all those tiny spines.

Will perform best after a month in the fridge. Soak seed for 24h in warm water, then surface sow onto moist peat free compost, sand mix and lightly cover with sand. Keep moist in a warm place out of direct light and be patient, germination can take anywhere from 5 to 6 months!
As seeds germinate, transplant seedlings into individual pots of sandy compost and move into a light position to grow on. Once established water sparingly. Spines can be removed by rubbing pads and fruit with a sturdy cloth which should then be shaken off outdoors and washed.
