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.
