The Bunny Ear Cactus, also known as Polka Dot Cactus or Angel’s Wings, gets its name from its adorable pad-shaped segments that resemble bunny ears. Native to Mexico, this low-maintenance cactus features fuzzy-looking dots called glochids—which may look soft but can irritate the skin—so admire, but handle with care. Whether solo or in a succulent mix, it adds a dose of desert whimsy to any space.

🪴 Bunny Ear Cactus Care Tips:

• Light: Loves bright, direct sunlight—place near a south-facing window.

• Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry. In winter, reduce watering drastically.

• Soil: Use gritty, well-draining cactus mix. Avoid moisture-retentive potting soils.

• Temperature: Prefers warmth (20–35°C); protect from frost and cold drafts.

• Repotting: Rarely needs repotting—only when the plant outgrows its pot.

• Handling: Use tongs or gloves to avoid the tiny, irritating glochids.
