Bunny Ears Cactus - Opuntia Microdasys

 🌵🐰 Opuntia microdasys – Bunny Ear Cactus 🐰🌵
      Pot Size: 17cm

The Opuntia microdasys, affectionately known as the Bunny Ear Cactus, is a charming desert plant loved for its distinctive pad-like “ears” and playful shape. Its golden or white glochids (tiny bristles) create a soft, dotted texture across its pads — giving it a unique, sculptural appeal. Perfect for sunny windowsills or minimalist displays, this cactus is low-maintenance, eye-catching, and full of personality.

Key Features:
✔ Distinctive “bunny ear” pads with soft golden dots
✔ Drought-tolerant and very easy to care for
✔ Ideal for bright, sunny indoor spaces
✔ Compact size suits shelves, desks, or window ledges
✔ A fun, modern plant for any cactus lover

Care Instructions:
Light: Loves bright, direct sunlight – a south-facing window is perfect
Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; water sparingly in winter
Humidity: Prefers dry air; no misting required
Soil: Use a free-draining cactus or succulent mix
Feeding: Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a cactus feed

🌵 Tip: Handle with care – while it looks soft, the tiny glochids can irritate skin. Use tongs or gloves when repotting!
