Grafted Cactus Red/Gold
check_circle In Stock
The Grafted Cactus Red/Gold is a dazzling and rare variety featuring a perfect 50/50 split of bright red and yellow hues. As an albino cactus lacking chlorophyll, it must be grafted onto a green rootstock for survival. Its vibrant colour contrast makes it a spectacular centrepiece for indoor collections or shaded outdoor settings.
Distinctive Features
- Bicolour Display: A perfect balance of bright red and golden yellow for a visually striking effect.
- Grafted for Survival: Requires a green rootstock to sustain healthy growth.
- Compact and Slow Growing: Develops gradually, making it ideal for long-term display.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or filtered sunlight outdoors.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between watering; reduce in winter.
- Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity levels.
- Media: Requires well-draining cactus soil to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Keep above 10°C (50°F) to maintain health.
- Fertiliser: Use a weak cactus fertiliser once in spring and summer.
- Repotting: Minimal repotting needed, only when the rootstock outgrows the pot.
