Propagating Bunny Ears Cactus (Opuntia microdasys) is a fantastic way to expand your plant collection without much effort. These charming cacti are known for their unique “ear” pads and minimal care requirements, making them a favorite among gardeners.

What’s interesting is how easily they can be propagated from a single pad! With the right conditions and a bit of patience, you can grow new cacti from an existing plant.

While it’s tempting to jump straight into cutting and planting, there are a few things to keep in mind. For instance, allowing the cut pad to callous before planting is essential to prevent rot. And don’t forget about proper soil drainage – Bunny Ears thrive best when planted in well-draining soil.

Curious to learn more? Check out my full guide and step-by-step video on how to propagate Bunny Ears Cactus – both are linked below! You’ll find all the details on how to get your propagation just right.
