Beginner success with Bunny Ears Cactus — here is what helped

As a complete beginner I was nervous about starting with Bunny Ears Cactus. It turned out to be more forgiving than I expected, as long as I paid attention to using pure mineral grit for drainage in the soil mix.

I grow mine in a greenhouse or conservatory staging which is working really well. architectural sculptural form that needs no flowers to impress was a genuine surprise — I didn't expect it to look or perform like that. rapid growth during the warm summer months has been the highlight so far. My biggest mistake early on was ignoring spider mites in warm dry indoor conditions, which I'd recommend addressing immediately.
