Description

The Lemon Ball Cactus, also known as Parodia leninghausii, is a golden-spined beauty that brings warmth and charm to any space. It’s easy to grow, beginner-friendly, and thrives in full sun with minimal care. This soft-looking cactus can tolerate temperatures down to 20°F and slowly grows into a tall, clumping column. In summer, mature plants may bloom with bright yellow flowers, adding a cheerful pop of color to your garden or container.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil. 

Product Details

Benefits

✔ Golden Glow – Covered in bright yellow spines that give it a glowing, sunlit appearance year-round.
✔ Soft & Safe to Handle – Despite its spines, it’s known for being gentle and less prickly than most cacti.
✔ Easy to Grow – Perfect for beginners; thrives in containers or directly in the ground.
✔ Cool Barrel Shape – Forms a striking upright column that adds vertical interest to any garden.
✔ Cold-Hardy to 20°F – Can tolerate cooler temps, making it a great choice for more regions.

Cactus Care & FAQs

✔ After Arrival: Let your Lemon Ball Cactus acclimate in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun for the best growth. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 20°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it during extreme cold.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11

Loving it so far!

I ordered this and it looks great. I hope to get it planted in the ground soon, but if not, it will still look good in the planter. I can't wait for it to grow some so I can see the "lemon" portion better.
