4" Bunny Ears Cactus

Bunny Ears Cactus (Opuntia microdasys)

Bunny Ears Cactus is an adorable prickly pear cactus known for its flat, oval pads that grow in pairs and look like little bunny ears. Instead of traditional long spines, the pads are covered in clusters of tiny fuzzy-looking glochids, giving the plant its cute dotted appearance.

It loves plenty of sunshine, fast-draining soil, and very little water, making it an easygoing choice for a bright windowsill or cactus collection.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun, several hours of direct sunlight is ideal
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings, water very sparingly during winter
🌫 Humidity: Prefers dry conditions and good airflow
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65 to 85°F, protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes, but the tiny glochids can easily stick in skin, mouths, and paws and cause irritation
⭐ Rare: No

Fun Fact:
Those fuzzy little dots aren't soft at all. They're clusters of tiny barbed bristles called glochids that detach ridiculously easily, so this is definitely a look, don't touch kind of bunny. 🐰🌵
