Highlights
Parodia buiningii (Taylor): A rare, globose cactus with unique ribs. This small species has about 16 thin, scalloped ribs radiating outward. Yellow spines with reddish bases sprout from the areoles nestled between tubercles. Large, shiny yellow flowers bloom atop the stem in summer. It is a solitary grower native to Brazil and Uruguay and mature specimens reach 3.0" in height and 4.7" in diameter. 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.
