Just bought this moon cactus today, named her Luna! Super pretty but Planta says it’s a harder plant to care for. Never owned one before, any tips?

Love that! Both colors are so cute!

Careful not to overwater it, then it gets all mushy and dies😅 I learned the hard way

#### Kay svarede den 2023-08-10

Omg it happened to a small succulent of mine before, definitely won’t make that mistake this time

Treat it just like any other cacti! Let it dry out completely then water thoroughly :)

#### Kay svarede den 2023-08-10

Perfect, thanks!

Just remember the drought/flood rule for cacti and succ and you should be fine!
