Golden Barrel Cactus
Echinocactus grusonii
It is a popular, spherical cactus known for its bright green color, prominent ribs, and dense, yellow spines. It can grow quite large, reaching up to 80 cm in diameter and 1.5 meters in height, though it takes many decades to do so. It thrives in full sun and requires well-draining soil, with water given when the soil is dry, and it produces yellow, funnel-shaped flowers in summer.
