Cacti - Grafted Cactus Deep red 130mm
The Grafted Cactus – Deep Red, commonly known as a Moon Cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. ‘Hibotan’), is an eye-catching, colourful cactus with a vivid, deep red top grafted onto a green rootstock. The red "ball" on top is a chlorophyll-deficient cactus that relies on the rootstock for nutrients. With its bold, vibrant colour and charming globular shape, this grafted cactus is a perfect addition to succulent collections, windowsills, or as a unique gift plant. Compact and easy to care for, it adds a pop of bright colour to any indoor space.
Characteristics:
-
Striking deep red, rounded cactus top (scion) with small, soft spines.
-
Grafted onto a sturdy green cactus base (rootstock).
-
Compact size, usually growing 8-12 cm in height.
-
Excellent for small pots, terrariums, or windowsill displays.
-
May produce tiny, soft pink or white flowers under the right conditions.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight which can scorch the vibrant top.
-
Watering: Water moderately, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during winter.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Good drainage is essential.
-
Temperature: Best grown in warm, indoor environments. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
-
Fertilizing: Feed with diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
-
Propagation: Cannot be propagated from offsets due to the graft; new plants are created by grafting scions onto rootstocks.
-
Maintenance: Minimal maintenance; keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to maintain its vibrant color.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. The plant will be shipped bare rooted
