Golden Barrel Colored cactus

Echinocactus grusonii, often known as the golden barrel cactus, is ideal for growing inside in locations with direct sunlight. The plant is amusingly referred to as "mother-in-law cushion."

As their name suggests, barrel cacti are almost perfectly circular when young, making them ideal display plants. Given the evenly placed rows or spines of their heavily ribbed lobes, they are very appealing.

Botanical name: Echinocactus grusonii

Other names: Kroenleinia grusonii, Golden ball cactus, Mother-in-law's cushion, Golden barrel

Light 

The best window for a barrel cactus is one that faces south or that receives lots of sunlight. Lack of sunshine will cause plants to develop slowly and struggle to survive.

Temperature 

Although the cactus prefers warm, dry environments, it can survive in temperatures as low as 18°celsius

Water

Make sure the soil drains fully and water sparingly. Do not let them stand in water or leave any water in the tray. The root rot of Golden Barrel cactus is fairly common.

Soil

Cactus soil mix is the best type of soil. Make sure to add sand or extra perlite to a typical peat-based mix to improve drainage.

Fertilizer 

Feed your cactus plants with a mild liquid fertilizer all during the growing season.

We send all the succulents bare rooted/without soil. Because with soil there are chances of root rot. Images are only for reference; the actual product may differ in shape and size. The product is replaceable but non-returnable.
