Moon Cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii grafted) The Moon Cactus is a colorful favorite, instantly recognizable for its bright red, orange, pink, or yellow “top” that sits on a green cactus base. This top portion can’t survive on its own, so it’s grafted onto another cactus—making it a fun and quirky combo plant that brings a pop of color to windowsills and desks.
Care Tips: ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid intense direct sun which can scorch the colorful top 💧 Water: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings 🌫 Humidity: Thrives in dry air; no extra humidity needed 🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic to pets if ingested)
Fun Fact: The vivid tops of Moon Cacti lack chlorophyll, which is why they need to be grafted onto another cactus—the green base provides the energy they can’t make on their own! 🌈🌵
