Barrel Cactus Plant

The golden barrel cactus, also known as the golden ball cactus, is one of the most popular of all cactus species grown in cultivation today. A striking architectural accent plant, it is admired for its rotund shape and well-defined vertical ribs dense with long, recurved golden-yellow spines. The golden barrel cactus also blooms in heavy-petaled, funnel-shaped yellow flowers, which emerge from the fuzzy, wool-like growth on the top of the stem. The flowers typically appear in a circular ring and bloom over a long period of time.

Barrel cacti are indigenous to the American deserts of the Southwest. These desert plants are found in very dry arid conditions in their native habitat and live up to 150 years. They have become popular houseplants because they thrive in the low humidity levels and warm temperatures typically found in most homes. But these plants are forgiving if growing conditions are less than ideal, tolerating neglect in a wide range of conditions.

Grown in a durable, 5-inch, classic terracotta clay pot, which will age beautifully, this barrel cactus creates a timeless botanical display that you or your giftee will love for years and years to come.
