Frailea phaeodisca is a species of cactus native to Brazil, particularly found in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. It belongs to the family Cactaceae and is characterized by its small size and globular shape, with bodies ranging from green to reddish-brown. These cacti typically grow individually or in clusters and have prominent tubercles along their ribs.

Frailea phaeodisca is known for its relatively large, showy flowers, which emerge from the top of the plant. The flowers are typically yellow, orange, or red in color and have numerous petals. They bloom during the warmer months and are pollinated by insects attracted to their bright colors and sweet nectar.

In cultivation, Frailea phaeodisca is prized for its compact size and attractive flowers, making it a popular choice for succulent enthusiasts and collectors. It requires well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and careful watering to thrive. Like many cacti, it is drought-tolerant and should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
