Gymnocalycium mihanovichii forma Pink and Black, commonly referred to as the Moon Cactus, is native to Paraguay where it grows in arid regions with strong seasonal variations. This cultivated form is celebrated for its unusual body colouring, where patches of vivid pink merge with deep black tones, creating a dramatic contrast rarely seen in cacti.
