The Opunta albispina cactus, also known as an angel wing cactus or bunny ears cactus is a member of the PRICKLY PEAR FAMILY that grows evenly spaced clusters of hairs rather than sharp spines. The Mexican native grows clusters of pads that get no larger than 2 feet tall but can grow up to five feet across over time, making this one of the more popular small indoor cactus types. Proper pruning can help keep this plant small. Pale yellow blooms are followed by red, edible fruits on plants that receive a full day of sun.
