Help, what cactus is this?

Post by condb »

Hi, I purchased a small cactus a week back. Could anyone please tell me what species it is? Any advice on taking care of it would be appreciated too. Thanks so much!

Parodia chrysacanthion (or maybe P. graessneri)

Parodia (Notocactus) graessneri or Parodia (Notocactus) haselbergii ssp. graessneri if you are a "lumper" from the typical greenish yellow flower bud:-

It is pretty easy to look after, just avoid colder temperatures over winter as it is less cold hardy than some species.
Buying a cactus a day will keep the madness away.
