Description: 

Parodia scopa, also known as the Silver Ball Cactus, is a eye-catching cactus that’s great for beginners and collectors alike. It grows into a neat, round shape—reaching about 5 to 50 cm tall and up to 10 cm wide—making it ideal for pots and small spaces.

This cactus stands out with its soft, silvery-white to reddish-brown spines that look like tiny brushes. It often forms small clusters, adding to its charm. In summer and autumn, it blooms with bright butter-yellow flowers right at the top. These large, open flowers attract bees and butterflies, bringing a touch of life and colour to your home or garden.

Parodia scopa is easy to care for and grows well in sunny spots or light shade. With the right conditions, it can grow quickly and produce small, dry seed pods after flowering.

Whether you’re just starting with succulents or adding to your cactus collection, the Silver Ball Cactus is a tough, beautiful plant that works well indoors or outside.
