4" Golden Ball Cactus

Golden Ball Cactus (Parodia leninghausii)

Golden Ball Cactus is an eye-catching cactus covered in dense, soft-looking golden spines that create a bright, fuzzy appearance. Young plants typically begin with a rounded shape before becoming more columnar as they mature. With enough sunlight and maturity, it can produce beautiful yellow flowers near the top of the plant.

It’s a hardy, low-maintenance cactus that thrives with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil.

🌿 Care Tips

• Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; water sparingly during winter
• Humidity: Prefers dry conditions; does not need added humidity
• Temperature: Thrives in 65-85°F; protect from frost

✨ Fun Fact

Despite its name, Golden Ball Cactus becomes more elongated as it ages and can eventually grow into a tall golden column covered in hundreds of fine yellow spines.
