The Bunny Ear Cactus is a popular houseplant that is not only attractive but also low-maintenance. The Bunny Ear Cactus gets its name from the shape of its pads, which resemble the floppy ears of a bunny rabbit. These pads are oval or paddle-shaped, covered in small, white, glochid spines that resemble fine fur. Bunny Ear Cacti produce vibrant yellow flowers in spring or early summer. This plant will come in a 1-inch net pot. Please do not remove the plant from the net pot; plant it directly in a larger pot. Also, check out our workshops for more details.
