Gymnocalycium mihanovichii forma rubra, commonly known as the Red Moon Cactus, is a visually stunning, chlorophyll-deficient cactus that displays vibrant red, orange, yellow, or even pink hues. Native to South America, particularly Paraguay and Argentina, this plant cannot easily survive on its own and is typically grafted onto a green rootstock, such as Hylocereus, to sustain itself.
Distinctive Features
Brilliant Colours: Lacks chlorophyll, leading to striking shades of red, yellow, orange, or pink.
Grafted Growth: Requires a host plant (typically *Hylocereus*) for survival.
Compact Size: Typically remains small, making it ideal for indoor settings and windowsills.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent scorching.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering.
Humidity: Adapts well to average household humidity levels.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C-25°C; protect from cold drafts.
Fertiliser: Use a diluted cactus fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Potting: Requires well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Propagation: Cannot be propagated directly; must be regrafted onto a new rootstock.
