Notocactus uebelmannianus
Shiny, deep green, globular cactus from South America. Spines are appressed
(curved toward body). One of the few cacti with rich, royal purple flowers.
Prefers filtered bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost. Regular water in summer. Keep rather dry in winter, rot easily if the substrate is wet and cold, tends to lose its roots in winter. Recently, the genus Notocactus has undergone name changes, and as a result, all Notocactus are now included in the genus Parodia. Notocactus Uebelmannianus is also known as Parodia Werneri.
It is hardy to at least 25°F (-4°C).

| A beautifully spined Mammillaria! I was fortunate to have this offset after killing the mother plant which died of rot. Too wet in winter! |
