The Bunny Ears Cactus, also known as Opuntia microdasys, is a charming and distinctive cactus native to Mexico. It’s named for its pad-like segments that resemble the ears of a rabbit. The cactus is covered in small, hair-like glochids instead of traditional spines, which can detach easily and irritate the skin. It’s a low-maintenance plant that adds a playful touch to any collection with its bright green, paddle-shaped segments that stack upon each other as it grows.

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.
