With its long, pointed leaves emerging from cylindrical stems, Austrocylindropuntia subulata is an unusual cactus that adds height, texture, and intrigue to any collection. Though it’s closely related to the classic prickly pear, this species has a much more upright, branching growth habit and narrow, leaf-like projections that give it a prehistoric feel. Fast-growing and architectural, it thrives in warm, sunny spots.

Scientific Name
Austrocylindropuntia subulata (subulata = awl-shaped, referring to the slender, pointed leaves)

Synonyms
Previously listed as Opuntia subulata – still used in cultivation

Common Name
Eve’s Needle Cactus

Origin
Native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, especially in arid montane regions

Light
Requires full sun or very bright light for best growth. A south-facing windowsill or sunroom is ideal. Rotate regularly to maintain an upright shape.

Water
Allow soil to fully dry out between waterings. In spring and summer, water thoroughly every 2–3 weeks. In winter, reduce to once a month or less. Avoid watering into the centre of the plant.

Humidity
Prefers dry air. Avoid humid environments and rooms with poor airflow.

Soil
Use a coarse cactus mix with added grit, perlite, or sand to aid drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.

Food
Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season with a balanced cactus fertiliser. No feeding in winter.

Temperature
Prefers 20–30°C. Tolerates down to 5°C if kept dry, but avoid frost and cold draughts.

Pet-safe
No – toxic if ingested and can cause irritation. Spines can injure pets or children.

Sprouts Top Tips
This cactus grows fast – pot up annually in spring and prune with gloves if needed to keep its shape.

Extras
Can eventually grow into a shrubby, tree-like form up to 2 metres indoors if left unpruned.

Did You Know?
The “leaves” on Austrocylindropuntia subulata are actually modified stems – a rare feature among cacti!

Cute Toy, Not Long Lasting
Super cute toy and I knew going in it wouldn’t last long against my Carolina Dog Winston! He love to do the step and pull method of deconstruction. He chewed and pulled the head off the toy pretty quick. But the body lasted a few days more than your average toy and he is still playing with the body of the toy. Minimal stuffing made for an easy clean-up. I loved the size of the bear it was perfect for a medium sized dog. It had a perfect squeak!! Super soft, Winston slept with it the first night (or guarding it??) All and all a decent cheap fun surprise for the pup!

This bunny honestly is the best dog toy. It is adorable and durable at the same time. I like toys for my dogs that are cute but most of all can honestly stand up to the challenge of hours of play. It has become my dogs favorite toy very quickly and is holding up beautifully. Get your dog this they will love it. This toy is so cool that I have purchase a couple to give to my friends for their dogs.

Amazing!
Style: Bunny
This bunny toy is adorable and a big hit with my dog! The no stuffing design means no mess, and the squeaker keeps her engaged without being obnoxious. It’s soft but sturdy enough for tugging and chewing, and the size works well even for bigger dogs. Great quality for the price will definitely buy another style.
