Plant facts

Mature sizeBarrel type. Slowly reaches about 8-10 ft tall and 12-20 in in diameter in the ground, and offsets into large multi-barrel clusters over time. In a pot it stays much smaller, generally under 12-18 in tall for many years.
Time to matureSlow grower, especially early on; reaching multi-foot barrel size takes many years (well over a decade in cultivation). Per-year growth rate not precisely documented by the sources found.
Ships asRooted plant, bare root, no pot or soil
What to expect in the box

Your plant is hand-picked, wrapped in protective kraft paper, and shipped on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It arrives bare root: a fully rooted plant shipped without a pot or soil, ready to plant right away.

Minor scars or pitting on the skin are normal for hardgrown cacti. Any discoloration near the base is from previous healthy growth in soil and is not a sign of damage.

Cacti can look slightly dull after a few days in a dark box. Color returns within a week or two of bright light. If your area drops below 40F, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as one is not automatically included.

Scientific Name: Ferocactus pilosus (Mexican Lime Cactus)

  • Largest barrel: 8.5 inches
  • Medium barrel: 3.5 inches
  • Smallest barrel: 2.5 inches

This beautiful Mexican Lime Cactus is a rare and captivating addition to any cactus lover’s collection.

One of one: The cactus you see pictured is the cactus you will receive! 🌵

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil.

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F during the colder months, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as we don’t automatically include one. This helps keep your plants safe in transit. 🌡️❄️
