Parodia Mammulosa

Parodia mammulosa is a small, globular cactus native to South America, often admired for its round, ribbed body covered with clusters of golden spines. This charming cactus produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers in summer, making it a striking addition to any collection. Its compact size and easy care make it perfect for windowsills, succulent arrangements, and indoor displays.

Key Features:

• Globular, ribbed body with golden spines

• Produces bright yellow flowers in summer

• Compact and slow-growing

• Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant

• Ideal for pots, rock gardens, or mixed cactus arrangements

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright light or full sun for best growth and flowering.

• Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry completely between watering. Keep nearly dry in winter.

• Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm, dry conditions; protect from frost and excessive moisture.

• Fertiliser: Feed lightly during spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertiliser for healthier growth and vibrant blooms.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 100mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
