Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus Live Plant | Opuntia microdasys | Golden Bunny Ear Cactus Starter Succulent

Add a cheerful desert favorite to your collection with Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus, a greenhouse-grown starter live cactus prized for its oval paddle-shaped pads covered in bright golden-yellow glochids that resemble soft bunny ears. Opuntia microdasys, commonly known as Yellow Bunny Ears Cactus or Golden Bunny Ear Cactus, is a charming succulent that makes an excellent addition to indoor collections, sunny windowsills, rock gardens, patio containers, and xeriscape landscapes. Its sculptural form and low-maintenance care make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced cactus enthusiasts. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

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

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

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