http://www.cactuscollection.com/faqs/index.htmlThese are actually what are called a grafted cactus. That is, attaching one type of cactus to another to grow as one. This is actually done with a lot of different kinds of cactus for various reasons, but the one referred to as the "Moon Cactus" (just a catchy marketing name) is done as a novelty to keep the top, brightly colored one alive. It couldn't survive by itself because it doesn't have any chlorophyll - the stuff that makes plants green and makes food for them. The top cactus is a desert cactus - Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. The bottom one is a jungle cactus, usually some type of Hylocereus. The wild color variations first appeared as a couple of random seedlings in Japan in the early 1940's, and many years of hybridizing and selection have created the wide variety of unusual colors we have today. The bottom one has the chlorophyll and the roots to provide all the needs of the top plant. 98% of all of these colored novelty grafts are produced in Korea; they have the whole technique down to a fine science, and they produce millions of them.
