Grafted Cactus Red
The Grafted Red Cactus is a striking plant featuring a bright red, spherical top grafted onto a green cactus base. Since the red top lacks chlorophyll, it cannot photosynthesise on its own and relies on the host cactus for sustenance. This colourful plant is ideal for indoor displays, thriving in well-lit environments with minimal care. Various grafted cacti come in a range of colours, making them a popular choice for unique home décor.
Distinctive Features
- Grafted Structure: A vibrant red top cactus grafted onto a green rootstock for survival.
- Non-photosynthetic: The red top is an albino cactus, meaning it cannot produce its own energy.
- Slow Growth: Grows at a steady pace as long as the base remains healthy.
Care Tips
- Light: Best grown in bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade.
- Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings; water sparingly if kept indoors.
- Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity levels.
- Media: Use a well-draining cactus mix with sand or perlite.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures above 10°C; protect from frost.
- Fertiliser: Apply a weak cactus fertiliser once in spring and summer.
- Repotting: Rarely needed unless the rootstock outgrows its pot.
