How not to kill your Bunny Ear Cactus (Opuntia microdasys)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Bunny Ear Cactus (Opuntia microdasys). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Direct

I love the light! A big ol' dose of bright, sunlight each day is my idea of heaven. I'm even up for some direct rays, just as long as it's not a scorcher. That said, I'm pretty adaptable. If light or dappled shade is all you've got, I won't complain.

Watering: Light

When it comes to drinking,I'm a Lizzie Lightweight, the cheapest date in town! Just a small one for me, please, and don't be rushing to top me up either. I won't thank you for it. Allow my soil to dry out almost completely between waterings, and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Memento Top Tip

Use folded paper or suitable protection to handle it; even fine bristles can lodge in skin.
