Echinocactus grusonii var. brevispinus [bare root]

Highlights

Echinocactus grusonii var. brevispinus: A neat form of the iconic Golden Barrel Cactus that has extra short spines. This is a bare root plant that measures 1.5"-2" in diameter.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
