Turbinicarpus polaskii (Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus subsp. schwarzii) ‘La Bonita’

Majhen kaktus je primeren za vse tiste, ki si želite ustvariti zbirko manjših kaktusov. Zraste do 2 – 4 cm v višino in le 5 cm v premer. Bodice so prav tako dolge 2 cm in raztreseno rastejo vsaka v svojo smer. Cvetovi so rožnate in bele barve. V začetku marca nam je polepšal sive dni.
Kaktus je odporen na nizke temperature in za kratek čas zdrži do – 4°C. Vsekakor je najbolje, da ga ne izpostavljamo temperaturam, ki so nižje od 8°C.
V naravi raste v Mehiki, v zvezni državi San Luis Potosi.
Ni zahteven za vzgojo in se enostavno razmnožuje s semeni.

Notocactus warasii

Znan je tudi pod imenom Parodia warasii. Ima krasne, velike rumene cvetove, ki v premeru dosežejo do 6 cm. Pri nas je zacvetel že v začetku marca. Tudi bodice so rumene barve. Zraste do 60 cm v višino, zato potrebuje dokaj velik rastni prostor.
Naravno raste v Braziliji iz skalnih razpok. Pozimi je kaktus lahko na nizki temperaturi, ki ne sme biti nižja od 0 °C. Kadar prezimuje pri tako nizkih temperaturah mora biti zemlja popolnoma suha, saj v nasprotnem primeru korenine hitro strohnijo in kaktusova življenjska pot se prezgodaj konča. Kaktusa ne zalivamo od novembra do marca-aprila. Kaktus je enostaven za vzgojo.

It is also known as Parodia warasii. It has wonderful big yellow flowers which grow solitarily or in a group. A flower can reach 6 cm in a diameter. Plant has yellow spines and caution should be taken when handling with it. Mature plant needs quite a lot of space for it can grow up to 60 cm high. The plant surprised us with flowering in the first days of March.
This cactus’s natural habitat is in Brasil and it grows from rock cracks. The lowest temperature should be above 0°C and the soil should be completely dry otherwise roots could rotten quite soon. It is very easy to grow and it is propagated with seeds.
