Hand-grafted moon cactus babies 😉

Cool! 🚦 #mooncactus #cactus #cacti

Acquired these moon cactus babies from adult plants, but soon learned that they can't survive on their own because they don't produce chlorophyll (also why they become such bright red/ orange/ yellow). That's why they're usually grafted onto another type of (green) cactus to extend their lifespan. So last week I grafted these 2 lil guys onto a green cactus I already had growing 🙂 Idk if it will work, but had to at least TRY it...

Neat!

Is it grafted?

@alovealoe They are now! 🙂 I got them as babies from larger plants & as soon as I found out that they can't survive on their own, I grafted them both on to another (green) cactus I had already 🌵
