4" Bunny Ears Cactus

Bunny Ears Cactus (Opuntia microdasys)

Bunny Ears Cactus is a playful, recognizable cactus known for its paired, oval pads that resemble little bunny ears. The bright green pads are covered in clusters of tiny, fuzzy-looking glochids (hair-like spines) that can appear yellow, white, or even rust-colored depending on the variety. As it grows, the pads stack upward, creating a whimsical, sculptural form.

Compact and drought-tolerant, this cactus is perfect for sunny windowsills and low-maintenance plant collections.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun; strong light keeps pads compact
💧 Water: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry out completely between waterings
🌫 Humidity: Prefers low humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm temps (65–90°F); protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes (But glochids can cause irritation)

Fun Fact:
The tiny glochids on Bunny Ears Cactus are barbed and can detach easily, making them more irritating than larger cactus spines 🌵✨
