Did you know...?
Get ready to meet this Moon cactus, aka Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, straight from the rocky deserts of South America (think Brazil and Argentina). It's a grafted cactus that ingeniously relies on its host plant for sustenance since its colourful top lacks chlorophyll.
It's not the thirstiest of beings, so you only need to water it once every two weeks and let the soil dry in between (just like most succulents). Plus, during the winter, your Moon cactus may not even want that much attention. Oh, and make sure it avoids direct sun, but a bright spot is a must!
