Highlights
Parodia alacriportana (Backeberg & Voll): A short, forest green cactus with lemon yellow flowers. This cactus stays fairly small and is often solitary. It has many pale, curved spines that arise from woolly spots on the stem called areoles. It is native to Brazil where it can reach 3.0" wide at maturity. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
