Cactus Opuntia Microdasys Albispina
The Cactus Opuntia Microdasys Albispina, commonly known as the Bunny Ears Cactus, is a charming addition to any indoor plant collection. Its distinctive, oval-shaped pads are densely covered with white, hair-like glochids, giving it a unique, polka-dot appearance. Native to Mexico, this perennial cactus thrives in bright positions and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.
This compact cactus comes in a 10.5cm nursery pot and stands approximately 15cm tall, making it perfect for small spaces like windowsills, desks, or shelves. Its slow-growing nature means it remains manageable in size, and with proper care, it can eventually reach a height of 40-60cm and spread up to 1.5m. Please note that while the Bunny Ears Cactus is a delightful and low-maintenance plant.
