Garden Affair : Bunny Ear Cactus

 The most rewarding cactus for every laidback gardener is Bunny ear cactus. This hardy cactus has been present in my Garden from last five years . The best part about growing Bunny ear cactus is you plant them  in shallow containers and just give them sunlight for the day  and then forget about planting them  and let mother Nature do her work you will be surprised seeing the end results when they cover the entire container with baby plants covering the container . 

                                                      

The cactus growth can be wild in few months only  and they are good for making landscapes for  arid areas.                                                                                                                                                

How to grow and Propagation of Bunny Ear Cactus                                                                    

The most easiest method to propagate Bunny Ear cactus is planting leaf in a arid soil or well drained soil . They love sunlight and planting in shallow containers helps in drainage .                                   

Propagation through leaf
