Moon Cactus

Gymnocalycium mihanovichii - Grafted Moon Cactus 

(Gymnocalycium mihanovichii and Hylocereus): Grafted cactus about 3.0" tall 

G. mihanovichii of an assorted color atop green Hylocereus root stock. The mutant cacti on top have no chlorophyll which exposes the gorgeous pigmentation. Since chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis, these cactus can only survive because they are grafted onto a Hylocereus cactus with normal chlorophyll. These will come with a few bumps and scars. This plant is fully rooted in a plastic pot.This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.

Full sun. Great in direct sun or south-facing window. 

Needs well draining soil. Subject to root rot if left in wet/soggy soil. For best results, order my cacti & succulent soil mix.
