A Low-Maintenance Succulent for Sunny Spaces
Busy schedule, bright window, and no time for fussy plants? The Bunny Ears Cactus (Opuntia microdasys) is a good fit. Its flat, rounded pads grow in pairs like rabbit ears, and the golden-brown dots on their surface give the plant a soft, velvety look. It asks for sunlight and occasional water, and little else.

Best Places for This Cactus
- Sunny windowsills: Its compact shape fits narrow ledges easily.
- Balconies and rooftops: It handles heat well, as long as you shield it from frost.
- Desks and shelves: A small pot makes an eye-catching, low-effort feature.
- Succulent arrangements: It pairs nicely with other plants that prefer dry soil.
Care in Four Lines
- Give it bright light, otherwise the pads stretch and lose their neat shape.
- Water deeply, then let the soil dry out completely before the next watering.
- Plant it in a fast-draining cactus mix, in a pot with drainage holes.
- Reduce watering in winter and keep the plant away from frost.
A Note on Handling
The tiny bristles on the pads, known as glochids, detach easily and can irritate skin. Therefore, wear thick gloves or use folded newspaper when you move or repot the plant.
What You Receive
Your cactus is packed securely to protect its pads and roots during transit. Once it arrives, place it in bright light and wait a few days before the first watering, which lets it settle in.
