Parodia werdermanniana

Highlights

Parodia werdermanniana (Taylor): A sweet, small cactus from Uruguay with low tubercles and a dip on top. It has about 40 bumpy ribs lined with blunt, golden spines. It blooms with large, pale yellow flowers. It tends to be solitary and can grow to about 5.0" tall and 4.0" in diameter. 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.
