Parodia sp. specimen- Exact Plants (2 in pot)

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!
The Parodia sp. is a beautifully symmetrical, globular cactus representing one of the many charming species within the Parodia genus. Known for its soft radial spines, compact form, and seasonal bursts of color, this plant exemplifies the quiet perfection of desert geometry. Its rounded body ranges from deep green to silver-blue, often crowned with silky blooms in shades of yellow, orange, or pink depending on the individual.

Every Parodia is a living sculpture—small in stature, but rich in texture and detail. Whether displayed alone or among other desert treasures, this species brings timeless elegance and balance to any collection.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. Outdoors, full sun is ideal. Indoors, place in the brightest window or under strong grow lights.
Water: Water deeply when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter when dormant. Avoid excess moisture at the crown.
Humidity: Prefers low humidity and good airflow. Do not mist.
Temperature: Ideal range is 65–90°F (18–32°C). Protect from frost or prolonged cold.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a gritty, mineral-rich cactus mix with added pumice or perlite. Parodia thrives in smaller pots with excellent drainage, where sunlight and airflow can maintain compact, healthy growth and vibrant flowering.
