Bright scarlet against green, the moon cactus is one of the few cacti that reads as color first and plant second. Ours is grafted onto a sturdy green rootstock and set into a hand formed moss ball, wrapped in natural jute by hand so no two are identical.

The carved wooden stand opens like a set of petals around the base, lifting the moss ball off your surface for airflow and turning the whole piece into something closer to a small sculpture than a houseplant. It works on a desk, an entry console, a shelf that needs a point of color. The wooden petal Kokedama stand is included.

Details

• Grafted moon cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii)
• Hand wrapped moss ball with natural jute binding
• Carved wooden petal stand included
• Approximate height: [X in / X cm]
• Approximate ball diameter: [X in / X cm]
• Living plant, so color and form vary piece to piece

Care

• Light: bright indirect light. Direct afternoon sun will scorch the red graft.
• Water: soak the moss ball for 2 to 3 minutes, drain fully, then wait until it is completely dry and light in the hand. Roughly every 2 to 3 weeks indoors.
• Never leave the ball sitting in standing water. Remove it from the stand to water.
• Temperature: normal indoor range, keep above 50F / 10C.

Every ball is formed and wrapped by hand, so the jute pattern and the shape of the sphere are unique to your piece. The plant varies too, in size, form, and color. Yours will not look exactly like the photo, and we think that is the best part.
