Parodia concinna [large]

Highlights

Parodia concinna (Taylor): A petite, globose cactus with knobbly stems. This species is native to Brazil and Uruguay and grows a green stem with 15-32 low tubercles. White, woolly areoles are positioned between the tubercles and sprout flexible, bristly spines. It blooms with a large, shiny yellow flower and can reach 5.0" tall and 4.0" wide at maturity. It tends to be a solitary grower but produces lots of seed. 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.
