Moon cacti are a fascinating species that can only photosynthesize when attached to their hosts. The lack of chlorophyll in moon plants makes them unable to produce energy for themselves and so they rely on food supplied by the root system from its host plant, which provides all necessary nutrients through draw-down fluids such as absorbed water or chloride ions found within salt solutions near rock surfaces where there's also an abundance earth minerals like magnesium.
