Echinocactus grusonii – Golden Barrel Cactus

Echinocactus grusonii is a magnificent barrel cactus, often called Mother-in-Law’s Pillow or Mother-in-Law’s Cushion. It is deeply ribbed, each of which is covered in creamy yellow spines. Woolly white hairs grow on the crown and cup-shaped, vivid yellow flowers may form on mature plants. An all round spiky ball of fun.

Golden Barrel Cactus is easy to look after, but they do need plenty of bright light.
