The Cactus Opuntia Microdasys Albispina, commonly known as the Bunny Ears Cactus, is a captivating indoor plant loved for its minimal upkeep and adorable pad formation. This cactus is a slow-growing succulent native to the deserts of Mexico and belongs to the Opuntia genus, characterised by its flattened, oval pads that grow in a distinctive “ear-like” pattern, hence the nickname.
The Cactus Opuntia Microdasys Albispina is supplied in a 10.5cm nursery pot and stands approximately 15cm tall at the time of delivery. As a slow-growing cactus, it remains compact and tidy, ideal for small spaces such as windowsills, desktops, or shelves.
Over time, with proper care, this cactus can reach a mature height of 40–60cm and may spread up to 1.5 metres, forming a striking, sculptural cluster of pads. The pot diameter of 10.5cm offers a neat and easy fit into decorative planters or ceramic pots.
Due to its slow growth and modest footprint, it’s well-suited to modern living spaces where space and time for care may be limited. A fantastic way to introduce greenery into your home or to give as a small, thoughtful plant gift.
