aka Opuntia Microdasys
Nursery pot: 17cm
Height: 40cm
Pot in Picture: Choccy Potty 20cm (sold separately)
Light: Isn’t she a beauty! It's clear to see why she got the name Bunny Ear Cactus! Find her in a bright spot in your home where she can catch a couple of hours of full sun.
Water: Water her well and then let her soil dry out completely before re-watering. Don’t let her sit in water - she'll hate you for it. Water once a month in winter when she's dormant.
Height: She's slow-growing, but can eventually reach up to 2ft when fully grown
PM tip: Despite the cute name, she is in no way cuddly....her pads are covered in hair-like spines (glochids) that can penetrate and irritate your skin. They can be easily blown away by the wind, so be mindful where you put her.
Generally non-toxic to humans and animals, however due to her prickles, she's best kept out of reach of curious kids and pets!
