QuestionHi, I will be so happy if you can answer my question because I know nothing about plants... People say i could kill a fake plant, thats how bad this is. My boyfriend knows this so for Valentines he thought it would be cute to get me a couple little cactus from walmart, I think, so now I have no idea even what they are. They are small about 2 inches already in soil, one is red and one is hot pink. They dont have any flowers the stalk is a deep green, no stickers but on the colored part and they are very little ones. Thats all I know and I'm sure I sound crazy now but please help if you can.
Sincerly,
Britt
AnswerBritt,
It sounds like what you have is commonly called "moon cactus". Check out this link to be sure: http://www.cactuscollection.com/faqs/index.html#Anchor-Grafte-30651
Keep in mind that the life span of this type of plant it generally not very long, so don't be disappointed if your plants don't make it past a year. The reason is they are not naturally that color, the link above goes into greater detail. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Greg
