Bunny Ear Cactus

We love this cute cactus, Opuntia Indigo also known as the bunny ear cactus because the pads resemble bunny ears hence the common name!

Bunny Ear Cactus requires very little pampering to become established. In fact, more die from too much care and watering than from neglect. Make sure you give your bunny cactus well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. It's a perfect plant for urban living and a really beautiful and striking plant. 

Low maintenance and an excellent choice for anyone new to growing houseplants. This plant will thrive as long as it's water only when it's completely dry and kept in a warm and sunny spot. 

Happy Houseplants is the place to buy houseplants - whether it’s large indoor plants (UK), mini houseplants or succulents for sale.  We have the plants and the knowledge and we really enjoy sharing our passion for houseplants with you, our customers.

As a special touch, if you’re buying a plant as a houseplant gift, we’ll add in a free, handwritten card - just leave your message at checkout and we’ll do the rest!

Plant care level

This one is really easy-care and perfect for beginners.

How should I water it?

What about feeding?

When developing our original Happy Houseplants’ Vegan Cactus & Succulent Food, we decided not to tinker with it too much, so you'll find no chemical supplements in this 100% cruelty-free vegan product. Our organic original Vegan Cactus & Succulent food is made from Seaweed harvested sustainably.

Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well. Check out our full houseplant food range here
