New cactus, no label

Post by anna_sweden »

Hi,

I bought a new cactus with no label. I'm guessing it's some kind of Parodia, but I really don't have an idea. It's about 6 cm tall and the largest ball is about 4 cm in diameter, and they have 13 ribs.

Thank you!

Parodia magnifica (or possibly warasii)

I thought so too, and I was leaning towards warasii more because even though it looks a little blueish in the picture it's really not. But I read on llifle that warasii has 15-16 ribs (mine has 13) but the magnifica should have 12-15 so maybe it is a magnifica that just hasn't gotten enough light to become blue?
