Bunny ears cactus grows flat, oval pads in pairs that look remarkably like a rabbit's ears, each dotted with tufts of tiny golden glochids instead of long spines. It is a compact, personable little cactus from Mexico, well suited to sunny windowsills and dish gardens.

Give it your sunniest window and a gritty cactus mix, watering only when the soil is bone dry and even less in winter. Handle it with folded paper or gloves, since those fuzzy dots detach easily. Warmth, light, and restraint with the watering can are the whole program.
