bunny ear cactus

plant details:

• Size: Typically grows up to 2-3 feet tall with a spread of about 2 feet, making it perfect for container planting or small garden spaces.
• Flowering: Blooms bright yellow or orange flowers in the spring, followed by colourful fruit.
• Colour: flat, paddle-shaped pads that are covered with tiny, golden spines, giving them a soft, almost fuzzy look.
• Hardiness: A resilient and low-maintenance cactus, perfect for both beginners and seasoned plant lovers. It thrives in sunny, dry conditions and is drought-tolerant.
• Growth Rate: Fast-growing compared to many other cactus species.

Care Instructions:

• Sunlight: Loves full sunlight. Place it in a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause rot, so it’s better to underwater than overwater.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining cactus soil, ideally a cactus or succulent mix with added sand or perlite for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate heat well. It is not frost-tolerant, so it should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Fertilising: Fertilise with a diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season (spring to summer) for healthy growth.
