To propagate a prickly pear cactus in water, you can cut a healthy pad from the cactus, let it dry for a few days to form a callus, then place it in a container with water. Change the water regularly and wait for roots to grow before planting it in soil.
It's water from a cactus! The cactus has collected that water!x
Water, dissolved nutrients, and byproductsof photosynthesis are stored in the cactus stem. The water and the dissolved nutrients are sent up into the stem from the cactus plant's roots. They're held in the stem until they can be used in the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight. From that interaction are made the energizing carbohydrates, starches and sugars that the cactus needs for such activities as flowering, fruiting, growing, reproducing, and responding to stresses and stressors.

To grow a prickly pear cactus from a pad, simply cut a pad from an existing cactus, let it dry for a few days to form a callus, then plant it in well-draining soil. Water sparingly and place in a sunny spot. The pad will eventually root and grow into a new cactus.
