Highlights
Parodia warasii (Brandt): A dark green, cylindrical cactus that can reach 20.0" tall and 6.0" wide. It has about 15 sharp ridges running its length which are covered with lots of flexible yellow to brown spines. It is native to Brazil where it grows from crevices in cliffs and produces offsets around its base to form clumps. It blooms with silky yellow flowers atop each stem. P. warasii can tolerate a bit less sun than most cacti. 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.
