Technical details:
Botanical Name: Parodia rechensis
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, guaranteed for freshness and vigor.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial and succulent cactus, characterized by a long life cycle that, with appropriate care, can last for many years.
Plant Height: Generally reaches a diameter and height of around 5-10 cm, developing a compact globular shape.
Uses: Ideal for enriching rock gardens, creating fascinating succulent compositions, in desert terrariums, or as a prized addition to a cactus collection. Perfect for decorating bright interiors or sunny windowsills.
Organoleptic Characteristics: It has a dark green, globular body adorned with relatively sparse radial and central spines. Flowering, usually in spring or early summer, produces funnel-shaped, bright yellow flowers that emerge distinctly from the apex of the plant.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the mountainous regions of South America, this species is remarkably drought-resistant. It requires protection from severe frost, preferring mild climates or controlled cultivation.
Sowing Period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March to May) or early summer to make the most of rising temperatures.
Optimal Germination Conditions: For high germination rates, maintain a constant temperature between 20-25°C. High initial humidity (cover the seed tray with plastic wrap) and constant, indirect light are essential. The substrate must be well-draining to prevent rot.
Soil Type: Prefers a specific, well-draining soil for cacti and succulents. An ideal mix should include coarse sand, pumice, volcanic rock, and a small amount of organic soil, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH.
Recommended Exposure: Requires full sun or bright partial shade. In the early stages of growth and during summer heatwaves, it is advisable to protect young seedlings from the most intense direct sun.
Germination Time: Germination times can vary greatly, from 1 to 4 weeks, and in some cases even longer. Growing cacti from seed requires patience and constant observation.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: It is perfectly suited for growing in pots, making it ideal for balconies, terraces, and window boxes. Growing in the ground is recommended only in warm, dry climates, in rock gardens that offer excellent drainage.
Quality Specifications: All our seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), come from a Selected Variety to ensure maximum genetic purity and boast a tested high germination, ensuring you have the best starting point for your cultivation.
