Grafted Cactus Black
check_circle In Stock
The Grafted Cactus Black is a unique grafted cactus with an extraordinarily deep purple hue that appears almost black. Due to its lack of chlorophyll, this stunning variety must be grafted onto a green rootstock to survive. Its rare coloration makes it an eye-catching specimen, perfect for indoor displays or shaded outdoor settings.
Distinctive Features
- Deep Purple to Black Hue: A rare cactus with a near-black colouration, creating a striking contrast.
- Grafted for Survival: Requires a green rootstock to sustain growth due to its lack of chlorophyll.
- Slow Growth: Develops gradually over time, depending on the health of the rootstock.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or filtered sunlight outdoors.
- Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry; reduce watering in winter.
- Humidity: Adapts well to standard indoor humidity levels.
- Media: Requires well-draining cactus soil for optimal health.
- Temperature: Keep above 10°C (50°F) to avoid stress.
- Fertiliser: Use a weak cactus fertiliser once in spring and summer.
- Repotting: Minimal repotting needed, only when the rootstock outgrows the pot.
