Styling and inspiration with Opuntia microdasys – Disc Cactus or Rabbit Ear Cactus

The Opuntia microdasys is a true eye-catcher in any interior thanks to its striking shape and texture. With its playful “rabbit ears” and warm green tones, it immediately brings a touch of desert atmosphere into your home. Place it in a sleek, modern pot to create a minimalist effect, or choose a rustic terracotta pot for a more natural look.

This cactus looks great on a sunny windowsill, on a shelf in the living room, or as part of a cactus garden. Combine it with other cacti and succulents, such as Pilosocereus azureus or Echeveria species , to create a harmonious and interesting grouping. Add decorative stones or gravel as ground cover for a finished look.

The rabbit ear cactus is also very suitable for smaller spaces thanks to its compact size. It fits perfectly in an office environment or bedroom, where it is not only aesthetic, but also functional. Like other cacti, it contributes to better air quality by releasing oxygen at night.

Outdoors, the Opuntia microdasys can be a beautiful addition to a rockery or patio. Make sure it is not exposed to excessive rain, as this can lead to root rot. A canopy or movable pot is ideal for outdoor use.
