Golden Barrel Cactus in Bloom

Echinocactus grusonii, commonly known as the golden barrel cactus, is a spherical, slow-growing cactus native to central Mexico, particularly the states of San Luis Potosí and Hidalgo. Characterized by its bright green flesh and golden-yellow spines, it can grow up to 3 feet in diameter under optimal conditions, though it typically remains smaller in cultivation. The cactus thrives in arid environments, preferring well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular ornamental plant in xeriscaping and desert gardens. Its distinctive ribbed structure and spiny exterior serve as adaptations to conserve water and deter herbivores.
