Parodia Alba
Parodia albiseta is a captivating and visually stunning cactus native to the grasslands and rocky outcrops of southern Brazil. It's admired for its globular shape, dense covering of white spines, and vibrant yellow flowers.
Appearance:
Shape and Size: The Parodia albiseta maintains a charmingly round shape, typically growing up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and 3 inches (7 cm) in diameter. This compact size makes it ideal for windowsills, desks, or any space that needs a touch of natural beauty.
Spines: It has numerous ribs adorned with clusters of short, fine, white, hair-like spines. These spines create a beautiful snowy appearance, giving this cactus its common name "White Snowball Cactus."
Flowers: In late spring and summer, it produces a ring of beautiful, funnel-shaped, yellow flowers near the apex.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Enjoys plenty of sunlight but can tolerate some light shade, especially during hot summer afternoons.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate brief periods of cool temperatures if kept dry.
Additional Information:
Parodia albiseta is a relatively slow-growing cactus, making it a good choice for container gardening.
It is a popular choice for cactus and succulent enthusiasts due to its attractive appearance and relatively easy care.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
