Parodia Ottonis (Indian head cactus) Care
Light- Parodias typically don't like direct afternoon sunlight and should be in partial shade through the hottest hours. They can take direct sunlight in the morning and afternoons.
Water- Throughout the growing season (spring and summer), provide regular water to keep the potting soil slightly moist. In the winter, cut back watering and let the soil almost dry between waterings, but do not let it
completely dry out.Soil- A rich, fast-draining cactus mix is ideal.
Fertilizer- During the growing season, fertilize with a cacti fertilizer mix. These respond especially well to fertilizer. Suspend feeding during the dormant winter period.
Propagation- Parodia cacti can be propagated easily from offsets, which readily form in clusters around the base of the mother plant.
