Description

Pink Moon Cactus plants are something of a mutant and lack the ability to produce chlorophyll, which means they must be grafted onto a rootstock with that ability. The result of complete lack chlorophyll is a display of red, orange, or yellow pigmentation. These mutant strains are often grafted onto the hylocereus cactus, and the combined plant is called a Pink Moon Cactus. It is very variable, therefore numerous varieties have been described. The individually growing Moon Cacti have a broad-spherical, gray-green, often reddish overgrown plant body, which reaches stature heights and diameter of 3-5 cm.

The fruits are spindle-shaped. Moon Cactus is native to South America, cultivates as a houseplant worldwide.
