Summary
The bunny ear cactus is a succulent house plant that is native to South Africa. It has long, spiny leaves that resemble rabbit ears, and it can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. In this video, I will show you how to propagate a bunny ear cactus, and I will also share some tips for caring for this beautiful plant!
1. Light and Location
It prefers light, sandy soil with very little water and even less humidity. Full sun and occasionally bright, indirect light are good for its health.
2. Watering
Bunny Ear Cactus should be watered only when the soil is completely dry. It is essential to avoid over-watering, as this can kill the cactus.
3. Temperature
Ideal indoor temperature range for this plant is between 70 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Potting and Repotting
When potting Bunny Ear Cactus, use a well-draining soil mix that is slightly sandy. Repotting is usually needed every two years when the roots start becoming congested. To repot the Bunny Ear Cactus, you will need a pot at least 2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot. Make sure that the pot has drainage holes before planting.
5. Toxicity and Common Pests
Although Bunny Ear Cactus is non-toxic in the strictest sense of the word, that does not mean it is completely safe to be around. The glochids can cause skin irritation if touched. Mealybugs and scale insects are the most common pests of Bunny Ear Cactus.
