Instructions d'entretien

Parodia scopa thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This cactus does well in low humidity environments and can tolerate a range of temperatures, though it prefers warmer conditions.

Sol

This cactus prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of sand, perlite, and a small amount of organic matter works well.

Engrais

Fertilize Parodia scopa with a balanced cactus fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.

Rempotage

Repot Parodia scopa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Handle the cactus carefully to avoid damaging the spines.

Propagation

Parodia scopa can be propagated from seeds or offsets. Offsets can be removed and planted in a well-draining soil mix. Allow the offsets to callous over for a few days before planting to prevent rot.

Taille

Pruning is generally not required for Parodia scopa. However, you can remove any dead or damaged parts to maintain its appearance.

Toxicité

Parodia scopa is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the spines can cause physical injury if handled improperly.

Supplémentaire

Ensure that Parodia scopa is protected from frost, as it is not frost-tolerant. During its dormancy period in the winter, reduce watering significantly to prevent root rot.
