Crafted Cactus Black – A Rare Deep Purple Grafted Cactus

The Crafted 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.

Additional Notes

  • Its colour may deepen under ideal lighting conditions.
  • Grafted cacti rely on a healthy rootstock for longevity.
  • Perfect for collectors seeking rare and unusual cacti.
  • Non-toxic and safe around pets.

The Crafted Cactus Black is a truly unique and visually stunning addition to any plant collection. With proper care, its deep purple hue will continue to captivate enthusiasts for years to come.
