Description :
The grafted cactus is a very popular ornamental plant for its bright colors and unique shape. It results from the assembly of two cacti: a chlorophyll-lacking Gymnocalycium mihanovichii and a Hylocereus used as a rootstock. The Gymnocalycium is distinguished by its bright hues such as red, orange, yellow, or pink, while the Hylocereus provides it with the necessary nutrients for its survival.
