Opuntia Microdasys Pallida - Bunny Ear Cactus

We love this cute cactus . Opuntia Microdasys Pallida also known as the bunny ear cactus because the pads resemble bunny ears hence the common name! This is the furry or 'hairy' form - we also sell the classic form. This plant requires very little pampering to become established. In fact . more die from too much care and watering than from neglect. Make sure you give your bunny well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. It's a perfect plant for urban living and a really beautiful and striking plant. 

The Opuntia Microdasys Pallida is low-maintenance and an excellent choice for anyone new to growing houseplants. This plant will thrive as long as it's water only when it's completely dry and kept in a warm and sunny spot.
