Description: Meet the Bunny Ear Cactus, a quirky and charming addition to any succulent collection! 

Native to Mexico, this little beauty is famous for its flattened, pad-shaped stems that resemble bunny ears—hence the adorable name! The stems are covered with soft, white spines that add a fuzzy texture, making this cactus look like it's been plucked straight from a desert fairytale.

Come spring and summer, it surprises with bright yellow flowers that pop against the green pads, followed by sweet red fruit that’s not only cute but also edible! 

The Bunny Ear Cactus is as easy-going as it is stylish. It thrives in sunny, well-draining spots, whether indoors or outdoors, and it loves dry soil—perfect for those who tend to forget about watering every now and then. It’s drought-tolerant, so it’s a great choice for low-maintenance plant lovers. Bring home this spunky cactus for a touch of desert flair that’s both fun and functional!
