Cotton Ball Cactus
Small, adorable, and full of charm. The Cotton Ball Cactus gets its name from the soft white fuzz that covers its rounded shape, giving it a fluffy, cloud-like look that’s hard not to love.
Its compact size makes it perfect for desks, windowsills, shelves, or any sunny spot that could use a little personality.
Like most cacti, it’s happiest with plenty of sunshine and well-draining soil. Keep watering to a minimum, and it’ll thrive with very little effort.
