Important Notes: Unlike the typical Moon Cactus found at retail stores, this Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii Variegated does not require a graft to survive. Thanks to its unique color and pattern, it forms its own roots and can grow independently, without the need for a graft. The cacti were grown with their own root systems before being shipped to you.

Care Instructions: Caring for your Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus is an enjoyable and rewarding process, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Follow these care instructions to help your cactus thrive:

• Initial Care: Before shipping, the cacti will be removed from their pots, and their roots will be lightly trimmed and allowed to dry to prevent health issues during transit. The plants will then be carefully packaged for shipment. Once you receive them, remove them from the packaging and prepare a well-draining soil mix. Make an indent in the soil for the roots, gently cover any exposed roots, and avoid disturbing the plant as it settles in. Water the plant by placing its roots in a shallow bowl of water to absorb moisture from below when the topsoil is dry.
• Lighting: Place your cactus in a bright area with indirect sunlight for 4 to 6 hours a day. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the variegated leaves.
• Temperature: Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus thrives in warm temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C) during the day, and cooler temperatures between 50°F and 60°F (10°C to 15°C) at night.
• Watering: This cactus needs moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering can be harmful, so be careful not to let it sit in water.
• Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining cactus mix or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand. Ensure that the pot or container you choose has drainage holes to avoid water buildup.
• Fertilization: Feed your cactus with diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper application.
• Humidity: Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii Variegated Cactus prefers low to moderate humidity. Avoid placing it in overly humid environments to prevent rot and fungal diseases.
• Pruning and Maintenance: This cactus maintains a compact shape naturally. If needed, trim any damaged or dried parts with clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Be careful of the spines.
• Propagation: You can propagate your cactus by planting offsets or seeds. Research proper propagation techniques for the best success.

Each cactus is unique, and variegation patterns may vary slightly. Your purchase includes 3 healthy, well-rooted specimens, each ready to enhance your garden or indoor collection!

Plant Care After Arrival: Upon receiving your plants, carefully open the package and remove the cacti. Place them on well-moist soil (creating an indentation for the roots can help). Use a chunky cactus soil mix with rocks, perlite, and sand, ensuring it’s well-draining. Water the plants from the bottom when the soil surface is dry, keeping it moist but not soggy. Never let the plants sit in standing water. If temperatures will be below 40°F, we recommend adding a $5 72-hour heat pack, available in our store.
