Parodia leninghausii f. albispina
Parodia leninghausii f. albispina is a white-spined form of the popular South American columnar cactus Parodia leninghausii. It is distinguished by its fine, pale to pure white spination, which gives the plant a softer, lighter appearance compared to the typical golden-spined form.
This form maintains the same upright, cylindrical growth habit as the species, developing a dense covering of hair-like spines that become more pronounced with age. Plants are supplied as established, rooted specimens grown under nursery conditions.
Care
- Light: Bright light to full sun. Gradually acclimatise to stronger sun.
- Water: Water when the growing media has dried out. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.
- Growing media: Free-draining cactus mix.
- Temperature: Protect from frost. Best grown above 5 °C.
- Feeding: Light feeding during the growing season only.
Key Characteristics
- Growth habit: Upright, columnar cactus
- Stem colour: Green body obscured by dense white spines
- Spination: Fine, hair-like, white spines
- Form: albispina (white-spined form)
- Growth rate: Moderate under warm, bright conditions
