The Echinocactus grusonii, also known as the Golden Barrel Cactus, originates from Central America, specifically from Mexico. The species is named after Hermann E. Gruson, a German industrialist and cactus grower. The growth conditions in their natural habitat are harsh, which is reflected in the specific growth and fertility characteristics of the plant.
The Echinocactus grusonii is a slow-growing, spherical cactus. It is a late-bloomer, with the white flowers only appearing once the cactus is mature, usually after about twenty years. The plant can reach a height of 1 meter and a diameter of 80 centimetres. The plant has a distinct appearance, with many spiky ribs and a thick yellow colour.
Caring for the Echinocactus grusonii requires special attention. The cactus needs a lot of sunlight and therefore must be placed in a well-lit area. During the day the temperature can rise to 30 degrees and during the night it should remain above 10 degrees. It requires little water and it is essential to prevent the soil from being constantly wet, as this can lead to root rot. It is advisable to not water at all during winter.
