There are some who still refer to the silver ball cactus by way of the plant's previously accepted scientific name of Notocactus scopa. But the currently accepted scientific name has about 20 years of use behind it. The silver ball is reclassified, according to the International Organization for Succulent Plant Studies, as Parodia scopa, to honor Argentine botanist Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi [1895-1966].Whatever the name, the thick, short, columnar cactus is native to the South American countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its stemreaches a mature height of 3 feet/90 centimeters. It has a silvery cover of long, silvery white, soft spines. In the wild, its crown shows a pronounced phototropism, by facing obviously towards the sun. It also shows a most attractive summer display of large, open faced clusters of flowers. Its base is curved, and surrounded with baby offsets once the cactus reaches about 5-10 years in age.The silver ball cactus is a popular houseplant. But it doesn't like temperatures to fall below 45 degrees F/7 degrees C. It shares this aversion with the equally attractive, related golden ball or goldfinger cactus [Parodia leninghausii].
