Parodia Leninghausii - Golden Ball Cactus *Rare*

Please note: In certain circumstance where we believe a cactus may ship better bare root we may ship it bare root rather than with a pot in soil.

Golden Ball Cactus Description

Golden Ball cactus is a tall yellow cactus native to South America. At first they grow circular but unlike the Golden Barrel cactus, will grow tall and slender reaching up to 3 feet in height and 5 inches in width. This cactus will bloom clusters of bright yellow flowers at the very top of the plant, but only until they have reached 8 inches in height. The wait is worth the gorgeous sight. The blooms will attract pollinators to your drought tolerant garden and will multiply new cactus plants by offsetting at their base, sometimes in clusters. This cactus is considered rare in many areas and hard to find.

Golden Ball Cactus Water & Light Recommendations

Watering Needs Indoors: Instead of giving your succulents gradual sips of water throughout the week, give them a good soaking, to the point where water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer, succulents do not like to sit in water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

Watering Needs Outdoors: In the Summer water your succulents every two weeks, by soaking them and letting them dry before watering again. In the Winter water your succulents once a month.
