Plant Description
The Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus spp.) is a striking desert plant known for its ribbed, cylindrical shape and bright yellow or orange flowers. This cactus is a favorite in succulent gardens and xeriscapes due to its unique form and low-maintenance nature. Its thick, spiny ribs store water, allowing it to survive in arid conditions and making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardening.

Native to the deserts of North and Central America, the Barrel Cactus thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering. It prefers full sun and can tolerate extreme heat, making it a resilient and hardy plant. The Barrel Cactus's distinctive appearance and vibrant blooms make it a standout feature in any garden, adding a touch of desert beauty to the landscape.
Plant Care
Watering

Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.

Light

Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.

Fertilizer

Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.
