Size & Growth

The size of the plants depends on the Parodia species.

Some species like the Parodia magnifica grow in the form of small globose cacti, while other species are barrel-shaped or columnar.

Light and Temperature

Like all other cacti genera, Parodia cacti needs plenty of sunlight in the day to do well.

Indoors keep the cactus in a south or west facing window for optimal light exposure.

Parodia cactus needs shelter for the exposure to full sun during the hot afternoon sun.
