Description

The Echinocactus grusonii commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus is a globe-shaped cactus known for its golden spines and symmetrical form. Native to Mexico, this is a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance cactus. Over time can grow up to 3 feet wide perfect for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and landscapes. During the summer, produces yellow blooms near the crown. 

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, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. 🌡️❄️

Cactus Care & FAQs

✔ After Arrival: Let your Golden Barrel Cactus acclimate in a shaded area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun for best growth and vibrant color. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry—about every 2-3 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 20°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11
