Description: *Parodia mairanana* is a species of cactus belonging to the genus *Parodia*, named after the Bolivian botanist Martín Cárdenas. This species is native to Bolivia, particularly found in the region of Mairana, which is reflected in its name. It is admired for its compact, globular shape and vibrant flowers. ### Key Characteristics: - **Shape**: *Parodia mairanana* is typically a small, globular cactus that can form clusters as it matures. - **Spines**: The spines are usually white or yellowish, short, and soft, giving the plant a somewhat fuzzy appearance. - **Flowers**: The cactus produces striking yellow or orange flowers, which are funnel-shaped and bloom around the apex of the plant. - **Growth**: It prefers well-drained, gritty soil and is adapted to sunny, dry conditions. However, it benefits from some shade during the hottest part of the day in extremely hot climates. - **Care**: Like many cacti, it requires minimal watering, with a focus on letting the soil dry out between watering. It is relatively cold-hardy, but it’s best to avoid freezing conditions. Its bright flowers and appealing shape make it a favorite among cactus collectors. You are bidding on the plant size shown.
