6" Opuntia Bunny Ears

Opuntia ‘Bunny Ears’ (Opuntia microdasys)
Opuntia ‘Bunny Ears’ is a playful and popular cactus known for its flat, oval pads that grow in pairs resembling rabbit ears. Instead of large spines, the pads are covered in tiny fuzzy-looking glochids that give it a soft appearance (but don’t be fooled—they’re still prickly!). Compact and cheerful, this cactus adds charm and character to sunny spaces.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun; thrives in sunny windows
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; water sparingly
🌫 Humidity: Prefers dry air; no added humidity needed
❄️ Temperature: Enjoys warm indoor temps (65–90°F); protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact:
Even though Opuntia ‘Bunny Ears’ looks soft and fuzzy, its glochids are tiny barbed hairs that can stick to skin—best admired from a safe distance. 🐰🌵✨
