Opuntia Microdasys albata Live Cactus Plant

There are several subspecies, varieties, and forms of Opuntia Microdasys cacti, such as Opuntia Microdasys subsp. Rufida, Opuntia Microdasys var. Albispina, Opuntia Microdasys var. Pallida, and Opuntia Microdasys var. Pallida f. Cristata.
Bunny Ears cacti have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
The “microdasys” specific epithet is the Latin for “small and hairy”.
These cacti are desert species that do not need frequent watering. Thanks to their succulent pads, they can tolerate even longer periods of drought than other succulents and cacti.
Bunny Ears cacti are light-lovers that enjoy growing in a sunny location. For both indoor and outdoor growing, they need daily exposure under the full sun.
They will benefit from regular feeding with a diluted houseplant fertilizer that is low in nitrogen once a month. From late fall to early spring, you should skip the fertilization.
Bunny Ears cacti prefer low humidity conditions both indoors and outdoors. They are not suitable for greenhouse or conservatory growing.
Their flowers and fruits are non-toxic to humans and pets, but the glochids are slightly irritating to the skin. You should place these cacti in a location where curious cats, dogs, and children cannot touch them.
