I found one on Etsy…Golden Ball Cactus. Notocactus leninghausii, golden ball cactus 3.5”

### Rhonda commented on 2023-07-09

I also see Parodia Leninghausii that has the long hairs and coloration

Same cactus I think they reclassified it after DNA testing

If you cut the cactus in half and let the top half callus over and grow roots in its own pot the bottom half should produce babies but I don’t know if you’d be open to cutting it in half

Brooklyn, I did buy one and absolutely love it!! Thanks for the inspo!

Awesome! They are great and fun to name for some reason!! They aren’t the prickly ones that hurt!
