Dr. Prescription: First Aid for Your Moon Cactus
Dear Plant Lover,
Welcome your new Moon Cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii) home! To ensure your colorful friend lives a long and happy life, here are a few practical tips from Dr. Cactus:
- Light: Place it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. Protect it from direct midday sun, but morning or late afternoon sun can be suitable.
- Watering: Water only when the soil has completely dried out. You can check by sticking your finger into the soil. Reduce watering significantly in winter. Overwatering leads to root rot.
- Soil: Use well-draining cactus soil. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
- Temperature: Room temperature (18-24°C / 65-75°F) is ideal for this cactus. Protect it from cold drafts and frost.
- Feeding: During the growing season (spring-summer), you can fertilize once a month with a cactus-specific fertilizer. Do not fertilize in winter.
Remember, Moon Cacti are grafted plants, so the green rootstock is generally hardier than the colorful top. The colorful scion (top part) does not produce chlorophyll, requiring specific care.
Grow with love!
