Highlights
Parodia nigrispina (Brandt): A mostly solitary jade green cactus with burgundy to black upper spines. The spines fade in color with age and appear nearly white near the bottom of the stem. Look for pale yellow, and large, blooms in the spring and summer. 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 temperatures below 40F, 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.
