Bunny Ear Cactus (Opuntia microdasys)

Bunny Ear Cactus, scientifically known as Opuntia microdasys, is a charming cactus variety famous for its unique pads that resemble rabbit ears. The flat, oval pads are covered with tiny clusters of yellow or white glochids (hair-like spines) that give it a fuzzy appearance. Its playful shape and compact size make it one of the most popular decorative cacti for homes and gardens.

Native to Mexico, this cactus thrives in bright sunlight and requires very little water, making it an excellent low-maintenance plant. It is drought-tolerant and well-suited for pots, balcony gardens, and rockeries. With proper care, the Bunny Ear Cactus can produce small, yellow blooms followed by red to purple fruit, adding seasonal beauty to its unique look.

Perfect for modern interiors, succulent collections, and desert-themed landscapes, this cactus combines beauty with resilience. A fun, beginner-friendly plant, it brings character and charm to any space.
