Question
I just got a new red moon cactus its about 3" and i really dont want it to die. Are there any tips you can give me to keep my cactus alive like how much to water it or where to put it for sunlight.

Answer
Ian,

I am sorry for the delay in answering you, have had some computer issues that are now resolved. Unfortunately, your plant does not live for very long. Water when the soil is dry and keep it out of direct sunlight and it should be fine.

Sincerely,

Greg
