How to grow a cactus in a hanging container with no hole?

I want to grow cactus like this:
http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=ddt4g7bj_65gb8kc6c9

Is it possible? Or they are sprigs of cactus plants – they’ll die eventually?
Thank you for your help!

I have a big cool cactus plant in a ceramic strawberry jar with no drainage holes and it is fine. I used small gravel at bottom and cactus soil for the plant. I do not over water it however…By the way, I love those plant hangers. C & Barrel has them and I am thinking of getting some too. On those I would use sand instead, possibly with color so you will not see the “Stained” part when they are watered.

I need some basic guidelines on how to care for a moon cacti.?

My boyfriend bought one for me and I just want to make sure I can take care of it the right way. I did a search and didn’t find much.
It’s has a short green bottom and bright red round top… Also does anyone know how big they get?

Never over a foot tall.
These 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. These wild color variations are artificially induced by irradiation I believe. The top cactus is a desert cactus – Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. The bottom one is a jungle cactus, usually some type of Hylocereus. 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. If you have or get one, put it in a location where it gets bright indirect light, or even in a window that gets a few hours of direct sun – preferably morning or late afternoon sun that isn’t too harsh. Hotter sun closer to midday could burn the plant. Water the plant thoroughly, and don’t water again until the pot is fairly dry about down to a depth of 1″ in the soil. It will benefit from an occasional fertilizing with an all-purpose liquid houseplant food diluted to half strength. This can be done once a month in place of one of the waterings during its growing period – usually during late spring to late summer.

I have a tall, spindly cactus that is growing too tall. How can I cut off the top and re-plant it?

I’m not sure what kind of cactus it is, but it looks like a Starfruit with only four points if you look down on the tall, thin stalk. it is about 4inches in diameter. The cactus was given to me by a neighbor who moved cross country. It was in a tiny pot, so I replanted it. It looked good, but it had some spots where pieces had been broken and healed.

I have been feeding it with Miracle-Gro, and it is growing a lot and quickly. Unfortunately, the new growth is more than eight feet off the ground. It is top heavy. How do I cut it for replanting so that the bottom part will continue to grow and the new part will continue it’s uninhibited growth?

ok first put on a good pair of thick gloves and grab the top of the cactus and gently bend it over so that you have ez access to the top.( if you can’t bend it over use a step ladder for assistance. Now you can use a variety of cutting tools such as a pruning saw, or a hand saw, or even a hack saw( make sure that all edged’s of the blades on what ever tool you choose to use are clean as possible). Cut off the desireable length and take it to a table. Now on the end that you cut off, take a razor knife or a sharp knife and scarify the end that was cut. Scarifing means that you take the end of the fresh cut cactus and cut really fine strips of the cactus flesh, for at least 2-3″. You don’t cut off any flesh but you are just slicing the flesh of the cactus to look like a piece of celery strings that tear off as you eat a piece of celery.

What this does is to open up the cells in the cactus flesh so that it helps with the new roots that need to grow out of the cut end, so that the new segment can asorb water. Remember not to over water the new suculent, as it needs to establish roots in order to asorb the water to it’s interior cells.

Good Luck
