Parodia neobuenekeri

A small, globular Parodia from Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil, grown by hobbyists as the former Notocactus buenekeri. It comes from a humid climate with rain all year and cool winters, so it likes more water and less harsh sun than desert cacti. A cool, drier winter rest helps it flower.

No wild records exist. This is inferred from related southern Brazilian Parodia, which grow on rock outcrops and in crevices on cliffs, often near forest or among mosses and grasses, with some shade.

No elevations are recorded. The modelled point is at about 560 m, which is typical of the hill country of the region.
