Popis: The cultivar of the moon cactus, ‘Aul’, was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science in 2016. To obtain ‘Aul’, the maternal line, ‘0809067’ with red and yellow colors, and the paternal line, ‘0828039’ with deep red color, were crossed on July 7, 2012. Until 2013, a young moon cactus was grafted twice onto the vine cactus, Hylocereus trigonus, in vitro and in vivo. The growth characteristics were surveyed three times from 2014 to 2016, according to the guidelines of Gymnocalycium mihanovichii of the Korea Seed and Variety Service. ‘Aul’ has a flat round shape, red skin (R44A), and average of 9.7 ribs. The spine on its body has a gray color. The spine grew on average to 3.0 mm in a straight shape. The shape of the tubercle on the rib was projecting. This cultivar was 46.9 mm in diameter, and produced 16.4 offsets on average, with red & yellow colors 10 months after planting. This cultivar symmetrically produced 1 or 2 offsets per rib. The preference score was 3.8 on a 5-point scale. On May 16, 2018, ‘Aul’ was registered (Registration No. 7195) and is now being protected by the Act on the Protection of New Varieties of Plants.
