Parodia scopa f. murielii [large] [bare root]

Highlights

Parodia scopa f. murielii (Hofacker): A clumping, globose cactus from Brazil. Each stem is lined with 18-40 ribs of fine tubercles. It has coppery central spines and lots of fine, white radial spines. Satiny, yellow blooms emerge in a ring atop each stem. At maturity it can reach 18.0" tall and 4.0" in diameter. As new offsets emerge from the base, large clusters can develop. Originally grown in a 3.5" pot. For protection in transit, this plant ships bare root, wrapped in paper. 

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.
