Hailing from northern Mexico, this variety of Bunny Ear Cactus has no central stem and new segments grow in pairs. They flower from the terminal ends of segment pads. They may look soft and fluffy but the tiny barbs detach very easily so best not to touch!
Light
The Cactus prefers bright, direct sunlight. It can tolerate some indirect sunlight, but too much shade will cause it to grow slowly and potentially lose its distinctive shape.
Watering
Opuntia microdasys is a drought-tolerant plant that prefers infrequent watering. Water the cactus when the soil is dry to the touch, usually every 2-3 weeks. Be sure to water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the cactus pads, which can cause them to rot.
Blozem Hints 🪴
Less is more! Allow your cactus’ soil to dry out completely in between watering. Water sparingly to avoid root and stem rot.
