Bunny Ears Cactus Live Plant | Opuntia microdasys 'Alba' | White Bunny Ear Cactus Starter Succulent

Add a unique desert beauty to your collection with Opuntia microdasys 'Alba', a greenhouse-grown starter live cactus prized for its oval paddle-shaped pads covered in soft-looking white glochids that resemble fluffy bunny ears. Commonly known as White Bunny Ears Cactus, this charming succulent is a favorite for indoor collections, sunny windowsills, rock gardens, patio containers, and xeriscape landscapes. Its sculptural form and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced cactus enthusiasts. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Bunny Ears Cactus thrives in full sun to bright indirect light and prefers a fast-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Its compact upright growth gradually develops branching pads that create an attractive clumping specimen over time. Mature plants may produce soft yellow flowers followed by ornamental purple to red fruit under ideal growing conditions. Once established, this drought-tolerant cactus requires minimal watering and very little maintenance.

Please Note: Although the white glochids appear soft and fuzzy, they are tiny barbed bristles that can easily detach. Handle with care.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Bunny Ears Cactus 'Alba' starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
