Highlights
Parodia haselbergii (Brandt): A small, globose cactus with a profusion of delicate white spines. Its green stem has 30+ ribs and is slightly sunken at its apex. Bright white areoles spiral up the stem and each sprouts 60+ white, bristly spines. The multiple orange to red flowers that bloom atop the stem contrast nicely with the white spines. This solitary species is native to Brazil and stays under 3.0" in diameter. This plant is small, but 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.
