Opuntia microdasys pallida
Opuntia microdasys pallida is a distinctive cactus with flat, rounded pads in soft pale green to yellow-green tones. Instead of traditional spines, the pads are covered in clusters of tiny golden glochids that give the plant a soft, velvety appearance, creating a sculptural and eye-catching form.
Perfect for bright windowsills or sunny indoor spaces, it works beautifully in minimalist plant displays or grouped with other succulents and cacti. Its compact, architectural shape and warm colouring make it a striking feature for modern interiors.
- Other names: Bunny Ear Cactus, Angel’s Wings Cactus
