Highlights
Yellow Grafted Moon Cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii and Hylocereus): Grafted cactus about 3.0" tall with a bright yellow G. mihanovichii atop green Hylocereus root stock. The mutant cacti on top have no chlorophyll which exposes the yellow pigmentation. Since chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis, these cactus can only survive because they are grafted onto a Hylocereus cactus with normal chlorophyll.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
