# Despite being a supposedly easy plant, this type of Bunny Ear opuntia…

Despite being a supposedly easy plant, this type of Bunny Ear opuntia has not been my friend. The first one I had seemed promising, but I knocked it over a few times… I got another one last Winter and watched it shrivel under grow lights and a modest amount of window sun.

Here is another example of putting a plant in a bright/sunny south-facing window and letting it do its thing. I trimmed this off the last attempt, and it’s been kicking around but did absolutely nothing for months. I’ve been so deep on exotic plants where overthinking is inevitable. It’s nice to have a “duh” moment.

It’s wrinkly but growing.

Also, really easy to relocate if necessary. I believe the “pot” is supposed to hold butter, and Dremel-ing a drainage hole was surprisingly difficult.

Is it possibly a cinnamon cactus?

V.s. Bunny ear?

Not that it makes a difference but maybe there is something different that’s the key???

It’s been so long since I looked up both plants names - and I see them used synonymously - that yah, I forget that I’m speaking to a plant community that is actually listening (and interested).

Yes, the Cinnamon has been a pain, but my real Bunny (and its one surviving child) has adapted to everything.
