Description:
Parodia magnifica is a beautiful sun-loving plant. This plant is easy to grow and looks great in a pot or dry garden bed. Known as balloon cactus, because of its spherical body; giving it the appearance of a little ball and can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in height and width.
The stem contains sharp ribs that are lined with golden, bristly spines. As it matures, it develops a bluer, more glaucous tone and can sometimes offset and form a cluster of babies.
Open-faced butter-yellow flowers appear on the plant crown over summer and autumn. Flowers are quite large compared to the size of the cactus balloon.
