Cactus Opuntia Microdasys Albispina – Bunny Ears Cactus in 10.5cm Pot

With its distinctive oval pads and white, hair-like glochids, Opuntia microdasys 'Albispina', also known as the Bunny Ears Cactus, brings a striking sculptural quality to an indoor plant collection. The densely dotted surface creates a characteristic polka-dot effect, giving this perennial cactus a clean, architectural look that suits shelves, desks and windowsills.

Native to Mexico, this compact cactus is supplied in a 10.5cm nursery pot and stands approximately 15cm tall including the pot. Its slow-growing habit keeps it manageable for smaller spaces, while yellow summer flowers add seasonal interest. Suitable for both new and experienced plant owners, it also makes a thoughtful gift for plant lovers and beginners alike.
