+ Myrtillocalycium cv. Polyp (Chimera)

One of the most unusual and rare cacti in our collection, Myrtillocalycium cv. Polyp is a graft chimera between Myrtillocactus cochal and Gymnocalcium cv. Red Hibotan. Its green stem is riddled with bright pink-red scarring, appearing randomly across the surface. The mix of cacti from two different genera means it can be a little unstable, and have a tendency to produce reverted red Gymnocalcium shoots. Everything about this colourful cactus is completely unique and alien in appearance. 

Watering

Water when soil is dry 100%. Water lightly (if at all) during winter months.

Light requirements

Full sun.

Feed

If not repotting then you can use a well-balanced cactus feed every month from April - September.

Repotting

Repot this plant every two years to replenish the soil and to allow extra room for the roots to spread out. Use a well-draining and gritty cactus compost.
