- Watering and Light Recommendations
The Parodia Golden Ball Cactus, originating from Brazil, is named for its soft yellow spines that give it a gentle glow. It's a great choice for a windowsill plant because it's small and easy to care for, as long as it's kept away from freezing temperatures.
- Origin: Mexico
- Hardiness Zone: 9-11
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent - cannot tolerate frost
- Recommended Light Conditions: Partial sunlight during the day
- Bloomtime: Spring
- Bloom Color: Orange
Indoors:
- Watering: Instead of providing gradual sips of water throughout the week, give the succulents a thorough soaking until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Empty excess water from the saucer as succulents dislike sitting in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors:
- Summer Watering: Water the succulents every two weeks by soaking them and allowing them to dry before watering again.
- Winter Watering: Water the succulents once a month.
Technical Details for Care:
- Light Requirements: Requires bright light for most of the day or constant dappled shade.
