Parodia haselbergii ‘Scarlet Ball Cactus’ – A Burst of Bold Blooms

Add a fiery pop of color and unique texture to your succulent garden with Parodia haselbergii, affectionately known as the Scarlet Ball Cactus. Native to the rocky landscapes of Brazil, this compact cactus charms with its globe-like form, soft white spines, and stunning scarlet blooms that light up the growing season.

 Dazzling Red Blooms
In late spring and summer, vibrant funnel-shaped flowers in bold red or orange encircle the cactus crown, creating a brilliant contrast against its soft, silvery spines.

Perfectly Rounded Form
Reaching up to 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, this cactus forms a neat, spherical shape. Its dense covering of fine white spines gives it a delicate, almost fuzzy appearance—visually soft, yet structurally striking.

 Easy-Care & Fast Growing
Fast-growing and beginner-friendly, Parodia haselbergii thrives in full sun to partial shade with minimal fuss, making it a favorite among both new and seasoned plant lovers.

 Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. More light encourages compact growth and prolific blooming.

• Water: Water moderately during spring and summer, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce water in winter.

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot and promote healthy roots.

• Temperature: Protect from frost. Best kept above 40°F (5°C).

Perfect For:

• Windowsills & Desktops – A charming accent for bright indoor spots.

• Rock Gardens & Succulent Displays – Adds bold color and rounded form to any arrangement.

• Collectors & Cactus Enthusiasts – A must-have species that brings blooms and structure.
