Soil, Watering, and Disease Prevention for Grafted and Non-Grafted Cacti

Owner of a ruby red moon cactus (grafted) asks about soil and watering after previous cactus rotted. Expert Darlene: use porous cactus soil with drainage, bright light/airflow, water thoroughly when soil dry, empty saucer. Grafted cacti are short-lived; fungal/bacterial infections show as black spots—spray Lysol every other day. Non-grafted cacti live longer; many bloom. Mix houseplant soil with equal play sand.
