Common Names and Scientific Classification
Scientific Name: Parodia magnifica (with Gymnocalycium mihanovichii graft)
Common Names: Ball Cactus, Moon Cactus, Red Top Cactus, Ruby Cactus

The Ball Cactus Red is a captivating ornamental succulent, widely admired for its bold red globe atop a green cactus base. This striking plant is a grafted combination of Gymnocalycium mihanovichii (the red head) and Parodia or Hylocereus species (the green base). Originating in South America, this cactus is especially popular for its unique aesthetic, low-maintenance nature, and compact size. It is perfect for desks, modern decor, or as part of a succulent collection. Due to its eye-catching form and vibrant color, it has become a top choice for indoor gardening and gifting.

Why Choose Ball Cactus Red?
This grafted cactus isn’t just visually appealing—it’s also ideal for people who prefer low-effort greenery. It requires minimal watering, thrives in bright indirect light, and doesn’t demand pruning or repotting frequently. The red portion lacks chlorophyll, which is why it’s grafted onto a green cactus to support its growth. This makes it a botanical marvel and conversation piece. Whether you’re new to indoor gardening or curating a themed display, the Ball Cactus Red makes a playful yet sophisticated addition to any space.
