    •   Opuntia 'Microdasys', also called Bunny Ear Cactus, is a succulent native to Mexico. This plant belongs to the Opuntia genus and is known for its distinctive, pad-shaped stems that resemble soft bunny ears.

        The stems of 'Microdasys' are covered in tiny, white spines that are harmless to the touch, giving the plant a fuzzy appearance. Unlike many cacti, these pads grow upright and cluster together, forming a compact and visually interesting shape.

        Bright yellow flowers appear in spring and summer, adding a splash of color to 'Microdasys'. These blooms are followed by small, edible red fruit. A drop in nighttime temperatures during late autumn and early winter encourages the plant to flower the following season.

        'Microdasys' grows well indoors under office LEDs or outdoors in direct sunlight. This drought-tolerant plant can survive up to ten days without water. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, as its sap may irritate skin.

    •   Opuntia 'Microdasys' thrives in direct sunlight but can also grow under bright office LEDs. Rotate it occasionally to ensure even growth.

        Water it deeply every two weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

        'Microdasys' does best in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

        It prefers temperatures between 70-90°F during the day and cooler nights around 50-60°F to encourage blooming.

        'Microdasys' grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a diluted cactus fertilizer applied once in spring.

        It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11. It grows outdoors in states like California, Texas, and Arizona, where winters stay above 20°F.

    • Q: How often should I water Opuntia 'Microdasys'?
      A: Deep water every two weeks, letting the soil dry completely between sessions.

      Q: Can it grow indoors without direct sunlight?
      A: Opuntia 'Microdasys' adapts well to bright indirect light, such as under office LEDs.

      Q: Does 'Microdasys' need special care to bloom?
      A: A consistent nighttime temperature drop in autumn and winter helps initiate flowering.

      Q: Is it safe around pets?
      A: Keep this plant away from pets, as the sap may irritate their skin or paws.

      Q: Can Bunny Ear Cactus survive a 10-day trip without water?
      A: It withstands drought well.

      Q: What kind of soil works best for this cactus?
      A: Bunny Ear Cactus does best in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

      🌿 For Houseplants
      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 as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
      Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
      *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
