Parodia scopa
Common Names:
Silver Ball Cactus
Plant Category:
Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
Parodia scopa, commonly known as Silver Ball Cactus, is a spherical cactus covered in fine white spines that give it a silvery, almost fuzzy appearance. This plant is a slow-grower and maintains its compact, ball-shaped form, making it ideal for small containers or cactus collections. During the spring and summer, it produces bright yellow flowers around the crown, which create a beautiful contrast with its white spines. Silver Ball Cactus is an easy-care cactus, making it a perfect addition to succulent arrangements or as a low-maintenance plant in sunny spots.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and to enhance its silvery coloration.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus mix or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Parodia scopa is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by offsets or seeds.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Parodia scopa is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
