It has a spherical shape, which is common among cactus species. Its surface is covered in small, white spines that help protect it from predators in its natural habitat.

Some moon cactus variants are ornamentally valued for their red, yellow, and orange pigments, which result from the total lack of chlorophyll in these colored variants. This species make popular houseplants and grow best in bright, indirect light.
