Opuntia, or prickly pear, or "Mickey Mouse Cactus", or even "bunny ears", are the many names of a cactus that grow oval-shaped flat pads with all variety of spikes and barbs. These look fuzzy, but beware: the fuzzy is prickly, just tiny. They can grow a few inches a year, and take little work to maintain and propogate, making them great practice for those new to plant care. Just like in the desert, Opuntia require as much sunlight as you can spare them. Also, they require very little water! As such, its soil should be well-draining. The best practice is to thoroughly mist, not water, on a weekly basis. During the winter, watering should be reduced to a monthly cycle.
