The Echinocactus grusonii, commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus or Golden Ball, is a popular choice among indoor succulent enthusiasts. The Golden Barrel Cactus is instantly recognizable by its spherical shape and distinctive golden-yellow spines. As it matures, it forms clusters of these globular shapes, creating a visually striking display. When grown indoors, Golden Barrel Cacti can reach a diameter of up to 2 feet, depending on the age and growing conditions of the plant. While slow-growing, they can live for many years and develop impressive sizes over time.
Light: Golden Barrel Cacti thrive in bright, direct sunlight. Place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Insufficient light can cause the cactus to become leggy and lose its vibrant color.
Watering: Golden Barrel Cacti are drought-tolerant and prefer infrequent but thorough watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and then water deeply until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter dormancy period to prevent root rot.
Pests and Diseases: Golden Barrel Cacti are relatively resistant to pests and diseases, especially when grown indoors. However, keep an eye out for signs of mealybugs, scale insects, or root rot. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
