Description
Opuntia microdasys, commonly known as Bunny Ears, is a charming cactus with distinctive flattened pads adorned with tiny, glochid spines that resemble soft bunny ears. This endearing and low-maintenance plant adds a touch of natural charm to your collection.
Propagation:
To propagate Bunny Ears, use pad cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callus for a day or two before planting them in well-draining cactus soil. Water sparingly until roots establish, typically within a few weeks.
Growing Periods:
Opuntia microdasys thrives year-round when placed in well-draining cactus soil and exposed to bright, indirect sunlight. Its whimsical appearance makes it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.
Expert Tip:
Be cautious of the glochid spines, as they can be irritating to the skin. Provide bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth, and allow the soil to dry out between waterings, ensuring the health and longevity of your Bunny Ears cactus
