Sun: Indirect

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple of hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Light: Medium - Bright

Moon Cactus prefers indirect sunlight. A spot that gets soft morning sun or dappled light through a sheer curtain works beautifully. Harsh midday sun can damage the colorful top.

Water: When Mostly dry

Allow the soil to mostly dry out between waterings. These cacti are drought-tolerant and don’t like sitting in wet soil, which can lead to root rot. Water sparingly, especially during the cooler months.

Humidity: Any

Moon Cactus isn’t picky about humidity. It adapts well to normal household humidity and doesn’t need misting or special conditions.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While not highly toxic, Moon Cactus can cause mild irritation if chewed. Keep out of reach from curious pets to avoid any risk.

Pro Tip

Moon Cactus is actually two cacti grafted together — the colorful top lacks chlorophyll and relies on the green base to survive. If the top starts to fade or detach, it may need to be re-grafted onto a fresh rootstock.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
