Opuntia Microdasys, also known as Bunny Ears cactus, Polka-dot cactus, Angel’s-wings cactus, or Bunny cactus, is a species of flowering cacti in the Cactaceae family. Bunny Ears cacti are native and endemic to regions of northern and central Mexico.
- 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.
- 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.
