Parodia procera

Parodia procera is a little-documented Bolivian globular-to-columnar cactus. Little is published about its habitat; its care here is based on Bolivian Parodia of rocky Andean valleys, which want strong light, warm days, cool nights and a dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Bolivian Parodia typically grow among rocks and sparse grass on dry, well-drained slopes of inter-Andean valleys. Specific habitat details for this species are not available.

No wild records carry an elevation. The measured site is a lowland country-level point at about 200 m, but Bolivian Parodia usually grow far higher, roughly 1,500 to 3,000 m.
