Notocactus submamammulosus

Notocactus mammulosus (also known now as Parodia mammulosa) is a beautiful little cactus:

🌵 Light:

• Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal.

• It can handle some direct sun, especially morning sunlight, but harsh afternoon sun might scorch it.

💧 Watering:

• Spring to summer: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry.

• Fall to winter: Cut back watering a lot — about once a month or even less, depending on how cold it gets.

• Overwatering = biggest risk (it leads to root rot).

🌡️ Temperature:

• Loves warmth — 20–30°C (68–86°F) is perfect.

• Can tolerate cooler temps down to 5°C (41°F) if dry, but no frost exposure.

🌱 Soil:

• Use well drain soil

• Feed lightly during the growing season (spring-summer) — once a month with cactus fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• No feeding during winter.

🪴 Repotting:

• Every 2–3 years or when it outgrows the pot.

• Always use a pot with good drainage holes.

🌸 Flowering:

• Given the right care, it produces beautiful yellow flowers in spring or early summer.
