  • CACTI DISCLAIMER

    Cacti are hearty, unique & rustic looking plants. While we select our plants for their natural beauty, some blemishes, light scarring, and corking (woody/ darker tissue) near the base should be expected, and is completely natural.

    Any needles (modified leaves) that fall off your plant will grow back quickly.

    Under extreme environmental conditions, it may be necessary to apply frost cloth in winter & shade cloth in summer in order to protect your plant.

  • PRODUCT INFO

    Echinocactus grusonii, or the Golden Barrel Cactus, is one of our most popular cacti for landscapes. Nearly extinct in habitat in its native Mexico, this species is widely cultivated in nurserys across the globe:

    The golden barrel cactus is rare and endangered—potentially regionally extinct—in nature. It is native to the Mexican states of Querétaro and Hidalgo, particularly near Mesa de León. Wild populations of E. grusonii were adversely affected in the 1990s by the creation of the Zimapán Dam and reservoir in Hidalgo.The golden barrel cactus is a fairly adaptable species, but naturally prefers growing in rich, well-aerated soil on sunny slopes, where water quickly flees from its roots. The species may be found growing at altitudes as high as 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) above sea level.
