Ferrocactus: The Barrel Cactus

Ferocactus, commonly known as Barrel Cactus, is a genus of cacti known for their distinctive barrel-like shape and prominent spines. These cacti are native to the deserts of North America and can range in size from small, squat barrels to towering columns. Their ribs are often adorned with colorful spines, adding to their visual appeal.

Caring for Your Ferrocactus:

• Light: Provide ample sunlight. These cacti thrive in full sun conditions.
• Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus and succulent mix.
• Temperature: Ferrocactus prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate heat. Protect from frost.

With their unique shape, impressive spines, and low-maintenance needs, Ferrocactus cacti are a popular choice for adding a touch of the desert to any collection.
