I think it's a Moon Cactus 🌵?

Thank you

Not a moon cactus. It’s an opuntia.

No problem

What’s a Moon Cactus?  
It looks like it’s from the Prickly Pear family line, and a bit malnourished or dehydrated.

I don't really know but what I do know is that a Moon Cactus looks like that.

#### Pliny the Elder ha respondido el 2023-09-22

A moon cactus (pictured below) is not a single plant.

It’s a Gymnocalycium, usually mihanovichii var. friedrichii grafted on to another cactus, usually a Hylocerus undatus, dragon fruit.

OP’s plant is some type of opuntia.
