Moon Cactus

The bright neon colours are usually in the shape of round looking balls, with thorns, and they’re sitting on top of another green colored cactus. The little moon cactus is a funny plant because it’s actually two plants in one and the product of human design.The beautiful, bright, colourful part of the moon cactus naturally does not produce chlorophyll, and the lack of chlorophyll allows for the bright, vibrant colours to show. So in order for it to continue living, human grafting to another plant or rootstock is required, and then it’s able to get the proper amount of nutrients and chlorophyll that it needs from the second plant that it now sits atop of. They are extremely low maintenance plants and caring for multiple moon cactus plants at the same time is not much harder than caring for one. They can add colour and life to your window seal or porch area and because they’re such low maintenance, moon cactus are an easy choice for those that are new to horticulture.

Watering -The water requirements for moon cactus are minimal. They’re not the type of plant that you have to water often. But while watering, it is best to water it deeply. But it is important to ensure that they don't sit in water for long.
