Golden Barrel short spine

Golden Barrel Cactus “The tiny, spherical Golden Barrel Cactus Short Spine variety of the *Echinocactus grusonii* plant is native to central Mexico and distinguished by its shorter, golden-yellow spines when compared to the common variety. Its ribbed, green body is nearly spherical, making it popular in architectural and decorative landscaping.

The sandy, well-drained soil and intense sunlight are ideal for this cactus. Because it is extremely drought-tolerant, it needs little irrigation, particularly during the colder months. When they are fully grown, they may bloom with tiny yellow blooms on their crowns throughout the summer.

The **Short Spine Golden Barrel** is a great option for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and container arrangements. It retains its brilliant, golden color and amazing symmetry while providing a safer, less sharp alternative to the conventional form.”
