Growing Requirements

Sunlight for Rabbit Ears Plant

Your Rabbit Ears Plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some morning sun, but too much direct light may scorch its fuzzy leaves. Place it near a sunny window or in a well-lit spot with filtered light for best growth.

Watering

Water your Rabbit Ears Plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s best to keep the soil slightly dry. This succulent prefers a “soak and dry” watering method.

Fertilizing for Rabbit Ears Plant

Feed your Rabbit Ears Plant with a diluted succulent fertilizer once every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this hardy plant thrives with minimal nutrients.

Planting and Care

Container

Choose a well-draining pot made of terracotta or ceramic with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. A shallow container works best, allowing excess moisture to escape and keeping the succulent’s roots healthy.

Pruning

Prune your Rabbit Ears Plant by removing dead or damaged pads to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears, and handle carefully to avoid the tiny spines.

Propagation

Your Rabbit Ears Plant is easily propagated through stem or pad cuttings. Allow the cut piece to dry and callous for a few days, then plant it in well-draining soil. Roots will form quickly in warm, bright conditions.

Repotting

Repot your Rabbit Ears Plant every 2–3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a slightly larger container with fresh cactus or succulent mix to support healthy root development and continued growth.

Common Pest

Your Rabbit Ears Plant can occasionally attract mealybugs, spider mites, or scale insects. Regularly inspect the plant and remove pests with a soft brush, neem oil, or insecticidal soap to keep it healthy.
