Eriocactus leninghausii | Eriocactus leninghausii Cactus Seeds 

Parodia leninghausii is endemic to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This species grows in hilly grassland and on walls between cracks in the rocks or in the shade of larger growing plants in pine forest. It grows in one of the most temperate regions of the country with warm and cool seasons and weather can become very cold during the winter nights, often it will fall to just above freezing without harming the plants as it is also very dry. The soil there is well drained and has a fairly high organic content, derived from the decomposition of other plants.
