  • The Opuntia microdasys f. monstrosa, or "Crazy Bunny Ears," is a whimsical and rare mutation of the popular Bunny Ears Cactus. Unlike the symmetrical, round pads of the standard species, the "monstrosa" form grows in a distorted, wavy, and sculptural way. Each pad is unique—twisting and clumping into a "crazy" formation that looks like a cluster of tiny, distorted rabbit ears covered in fuzzy white dots.

    The parent species is native to Northern and Central Mexico. While the standard version is widespread, this monstrosa form is a horticultural treasure, specifically cultivated for those who love the "oddities" of the plant world.

    While this monstrose form focuses most of its energy on its wild pad growth, it can occasionally produce creamy yellow, cup-shaped flowers. These blooms are particularly special because they contrast beautifully with the white, fuzzy dots (glochids). However, even without flowers, the plant’s bizarre structure provides year-round visual interest.

  • Full Sun to Very Bright Indirect Light. It needs plenty of light to keep its white glochids bright and its growth habit strong.

    Sandy, Gritty Cactus Mix. Excellent drainage is mandatory. Use a mix with a high ratio of pumice, perlite, or gravel.

    Low. Water only when the soil is completely dry. This plant is highly drought-tolerant and very sensitive to overwatering.
  • 9 to 11. Must be kept indoors in cold climates.
  • Hand-Packed with Care: Using recyclable wraps and crinkle paper, we ensure every succulent arrives healthy and in perfect condition.

    Processing: Shipped within 3-5 business days (Mon-Fri) year-round.

    Urgent Orders: Message us for shipping upgrades (additional cost).

    Destinations: We ship succulents to all 50 US states and territories, with the exception of Guam.

    Cold Weather: If under 40°F, please add a Heat Pack to your order for safety.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
