Echinocactus Grusonii - Golden barrel cactus

This highly sought after cultivator is sure to add some desert vibes with very little care! 

Plant Care 

Light: Cacti need bright light to survive. My rule of thumb is always to let them have a view of the sky. The best bet is a south-facing sunny windowsill or under a grow light for at least 6 hours a day. 

Watering: These plants are drought tolerant. Only water when the soil completely dries out, as overwatering can quickly kill these plants. Cut way back on watering in winter. 

Temperature: 5-32°C is its tolerance range, prefers to be on the cooler side at night. 

Potting: A well-draining mix is ideal for this plant. Our Savvy Succa would be a great fit.

Hot tips: This is not a fan of humidity, so avoid those steamy bathrooms.

Pet Friendly: Yes, but the spikes can cause irritation so best to place it out of reach of your furry friends or small humans.
