Zones: 9–11
A standout Parodia prized for its many narrow ribs and naturally “glowing” reddish spines
Forms a tidy ball shape when young, slowly elongating into a short column with age
Produces bright yellow flowers at the crown when mature
Stays relatively small and manageable, perfect for windowsills or mixed cactus displays
Low-maintenance and forgiving, ideal for beginners and collectors alike
What you’ll receive:
A healthy, rooted Common Ball Cactus (Parodia erubescens) shipped bare-root. Sizes available are 2"-3" and 6"-8".Some natural scarring or slight spine variation may be present.
After arrival
Handle carefully, its slender red spines are sharp. Place in bright sun or near a south-facing window. Allow the cactus to rest for 2–3 days before first watering so the roots can settle into their new soil.
Transplant tip
Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix in a pot just slightly wider than the plant. Keep the crown above the soil line to prevent rot. After repotting, wait 5–7 days before watering lightly, then resume normal dry-down watering cycles.
