Moon Cactus

Description

• The Moon Cactus, or Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, is a unique and colorful cactus cultivar prized for its vibrant, globe-shaped appearance. It lacks chlorophyll, giving it striking colors like red, orange, yellow, or pink.

Features & Benefits 

• Resilient and low-maintenance, suitable for beginners or those with limited gardening experience.
• Adds a pop of color and texture to indoor spaces, perfect for windowsills, desks, or shelves.
• Does not produce chlorophyll, so it relies on the rootstock for nutrients, making it a unique and fascinating addition to succulent collections.
• Features a colorful, flattened, globular stem.
• Grows as a small, round cactus grafted onto a rootstock cactus, typically Hylocereus or Pereskiopsis.

Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade.
• Watering: Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. 
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix is ideal.
• Humidity: Tolerates low humidity levels.
• Fertilization: Feed with diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning required; remove dead or damaged stems as needed.
