Parodia magnifica Specimen 55 / 75

A dense cluster of globose stems forms this specimen, lined with golden spines. Vibrant yellow blooms emerging non-stop through the summer months.

Blue-green globose clusters of Notocactus magnificus (Parodia magnifica) are lined with gold-yellow, bristly spines. Wooly areoles along the ribs meet at top of each globe to produce a thick, wooly crown which emerges with vibrant yellow, funnel-shaped flowers in spring. The soft colours of this magnificent cactus belong in the palettes of renaissance paintings.  

Water when soil is 100% dry. Water lightly (if at all) during cold winter months. Aloes can be prone to rot if cold and wet at the same time.

Full sun.

If not repotting then you can use a well-balanced cactus feed every month from April - September.

Repot this plant every two years to replenish the soil and to allow extra room for the roots to spread out. Use a well-draining and gritty cactus compost.

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.

Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
