Awl cactus (Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii) ' Hibotan '

So I bought this plant (and many others today) because for so long I have delayed doing so , because it seems everywhere you go, there they are. It is actually to seperate cacti plants. The top colorful cacti is grafted on to the lower. The life of the plant is shorter then most due to the bottom growing quicker then the top leaving the top without a home. The top plant cannot make its own chlorophyll so to survive it MUST be placed on a larger cacti that can make enough for two. This is not a South window lover, West will do. Water when soil is dry. Common name 'Moon flower'. Also comes in orange, red and yellow.
