A rare, spherical cactus hailing from South America, Parodia buiningii is a solitary grower reaching only a few inches in height. A heavily ribbed, deep green stem with lime green highlighting along the crest of each ridge is offset by wooly areoles from which four or more long spines emerge, featuring a gradient of color from deep maroon to soft yellow.

Native to the harsh landscapes of Brazil and Uruguay, Parodia buiningii prefers full, direct sun to retain its vigor and to send out large, yellow blooms atop its stem each summer. As with most cacti, its prefers thorough watering with periods of dryness in between – not allowing for these dry spells will encourage issues such as rot to take hold. A very porous soil mixture, such as a commercially available cactus mix supplemented with pumice or perlite, will encourage these periods of dryness, as will a pot with sufficient drainage.

During the winter months, take care to shield Parodia buiningii from frost, and to retain temperatures above 40 degrees whenever possible.

    Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
