Parodia scopa albispina var. succinea

Selected form of this beautiful compact species. Heads will grow about 5cm across and form clusters up to 15cm across in 3 to 4 years. 3cm yellow flowers appear in the late spring period for many weeks, easily divided.

Position - under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will become long and produce less offsets. Flowering will only occur in good light.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
