Just teasing.
I too love plants (most of them - not crazy about poison oak) and I am fascinated with the whole Moon Cactus thing. History: the first one was found in a collection in Japan in the early 1940's. So not a crime against nature but a natural sport that someone recognized and took advantage of. All the 'parent' plants are grafted onto Hylocereus (think Dragon Fruit). The offsets are 'plucked' from their Mommies and grafted onto their own Hylocereus recipients.
The Hylo fails in just a couple years as the Moon Cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii) is completely dependent on the Hylo for everything. The Hylo's growing tip has been replaced by the Gymno - only the Gymno is able to grow so it quickly out-eats its host.
That is why I said all those horrible things about Moon Cactus. I have one. It was a gift from a well-meaning friend. I still like her.
Can we be friends now? Please?
