Opuntia Microdasys 'Bunny Ear Cactus'

The Bunny cacti also known as Polka Dot cactus has the appearance of a shrub, and spreads out to cover between 2-5 feet of ground as a mature plant. The spines come off with a simple touch, and are best removed from flesh with tweezers.

The Polka-dot Cactus is a desert species. It should be given water on a regular basis during its first season in a new pot. This will help it to create a strong root system. The soil should be kept moist, but not soggy. After the first season, more sporadic watering is required.
