Brief Description

A popular ornamental cactus, the Golden Barrel Cactus has a spherical shape and features pronounced ribs with golden spines. It can grow up to 3 feet tall and is known for its bright yellow flowers that bloom in summer.

Place in a bright location with direct sunlight. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering. Ideal temperature is between 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C) during the growing season, with cooler temperatures in winter.

Medicinal Value

Traditionally, certain cactus species have been used for digestive issues and as a diuretic, although the Golden Barrel Cactus is primarily appreciated for its aesthetic value rather than its medicinal properties.
