MY CACTUS COLLECTION: Parodia
Hello plantito, plantita! Here is another cactus collection of masterzarlyntv called Parodia. In the Cactaceae family, the genus Parodia contains 63 species of perennial cactus. These plants produce funnel-shaped flowers with rounded, ribbed, and prickly stems that emerge from fuzzy buds at the top. They range in size from little, ground-hugging plants to 1m tall columnar species native to South America's uplands. They are commonly grown under glass in horticulture.
Look, it has a beautiful yellow flower and another 2 that still do not bloomed. A cutie cactus with a yellow flower!
Here are some basic care for your cactus:
- It must be watered once a week in the hottest month.
- Must be in the sunlight for 6hrs since they love the bright locations.
- Must put holes in the pot for a good drainage system.
Hope this helps. Thank you.

How beautiful that yellow flower is adorning that cactus in all its splendor. Thank you for the nice photos. Regards.
Yes it's so nice to see those little cactus have a beautiful flower. I got so amazed the first time I saw it. You're welcome mam :)
Beautiful!
I'm not really a plantita, so I just want to know if the cactus needs to be repotted (may ganun bang term? d ko sure 😅)?
I actually have a cactus at home, but I don't know if it's growing well.. (I'm so sorry to all plantitas all over the world for not being a good plantita!)
Yes, it should be repotted if you saw its roots in the drainage hole. (pagsumosobra na sya madam haha)
@masterzarlyntv sige, I'll check if the roots are there :D
Thank you for the advice!
I really don't know anything about plants/cactuses but that is a beautiful cactus.
I am planning on getting one, they say that cactuses are the easiest to take care of?
Love that cactus. Good evening!
