    Echinocactus grusonii, popularly known as the golden barrel cactus, golden ball or mother-in-law's cushion, is a well known species of cactus. Growing as a large roughly spherical globe, Echinocactus grusonii may eventually reach over 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height after many years. Younger Golden Barrel plants do not look similar to mature specimens. The generation lifetime is estimated to be 30 years. There may be up to 35 pronounced ribs in mature plants, though they are not evident in young plants, which may have a knobbly appearance. The sharp spines are long, straight or slightly curved, and various shades of yellow or, occasionally, white. Small yellow flowers appear in summer around the crown of the plant, but only after twenty years or so.

      We select and ship only the finest quality cactus, succulents, and plants. We pack them individually and carefully to ensure they arrive safely. Tolerable living conditions depend on a growing region’s climate and may not be suitable compared to the Southwest.

However, we will provide you with documents and pictures that your plant left our facility healthy and vibrant. We are always available via email or over the phone to answer any questions regarding planting, growing, watering, etc., to ensure you have the knowledge and tools to have a great experience.
