Description

Golden Barrel Cactus is a striking, slow-growing desert cactus prized for its bold spherical shape and prominent golden-yellow spines. This iconic plant adds strong architectural interest to xeriscape gardens, rock landscapes, and container plantings. Highly drought-tolerant and heat-loving, it thrives in arid and warm climates with minimal care. Over time, mature plants may produce small yellow flowers at the crown during summer. Golden Barrel Cactus is an excellent choice for low-water landscapes seeking dramatic form and long-lasting visual impact.

Choose a location with full sun and extremely well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was growing in its container. Backfill gently with a cactus or sandy soil mix. Water lightly after planting and allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

Golden Barrel Cactus thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Water sparingly, especially once established, as overwatering can cause root rot. During the growing season, water only when the soil is completely dry. No regular fertilization is required, but a light cactus fertilizer can be applied once in spring. This cactus requires very little maintenance and performs best in dry conditions.
