Parodia leninghausii (Notocactus leninghausii) – The Golden Ball Cactus

At TOMs FLOWer CLUB, Parodia leninghausii – still widely known as Notocactus leninghausii – is offered as an exceptional columnar cactus from southern Brazil. With its golden spines and elegant growth habit, it is a true highlight for collectors and plant lovers alike.

This fast-growing species forms slender columns covered in soft, golden-yellow spines, earning it the nickname Golden Ball Cactus or Golden Torch. Mature plants produce striking, bright yellow funnel-shaped flowers at the crown during summer, adding even more beauty to their radiant form.

Organically grown without heavy fertilisation, each plant develops naturally, slowly, and robustly. Potted in a carefully self-mixed, well-drained organic substrate, they form strong roots and long-lasting vitality.

Not frost-hardy, Parodia leninghausii thrives in a sunny location, with sparse but regular watering in spring and summer, and a completely dry rest in winter. This cactus is relatively fast-growing compared to many other species, making it especially rewarding to cultivate.

A sculptural gem with radiant spination and reliable flowering, Parodia leninghausii is both a statement piece and an easy-care treasure – perfect for collectors, design enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a cactus with timeless elegance.
