Opuntia microdasys 'Inermis' – Opuntia

Family: Cactaceae

• Pot diameter: 10.5 cm
• Height: 15 cm

The Opuntia microdasys 'Inermis' is a sweet version of the classic Opuntia "Bunny Ears," without the characteristic spines. Its oval green jointed pads bring a playful character to any space. It is ideal for beginners or families with children, while not losing any of its botanical charm.

Fully spineless variety without spines or thorny tips. It gradually forms compact, sculptural clusters, and is perfect for bright indoor corners and patios.

Care:

• Watering: Moderate to sparse – allow the substrate to dry completely.
• Light: Very bright spot, ideally with direct sunlight.
• Temperature: Resistant to hot conditions – protect from frost.

Maximum size: up to 40 cm height and 30 cm spread (in ideal conditions).

Tip: Although it has no spines, it's good to avoid excessive moisture – it thrives better in clayey or sandy, fast-draining substrate.

Ideal for:

• Cactus or succulent collections.
• Bright shelves or desks with character.

Origin of the variety: The form ‘Inermis’ is a natural mutant variant of Opuntia microdasys, which was selected and maintained for its lack of spines.

Note: Due to the natural variability of plants, the plant you receive may differ slightly from the one in the photo. The shape, size, or coloring depends on the season, growing conditions, and the nature of each plant.
