Ferocactus Hybrid Barrel Cactus – 10-Inch Bare-Root Plant

The Ferocactus Hybrid Barrel Cactus is a desert-adapted cactus with a rounded, ribbed green body and prominent spines. Its sculptural shape makes it suitable for outdoor cactus collections, arid gardens, and desert-inspired landscapes in appropriate climates.

This listing includes 1 live rooted barrel cactus shipped bare root. The seller provides the following body measurements, excluding spines: approximately 10 inches tall × 6.5 inches wide. The plant ships without a pot and is intended to be planted after arrival. The exact hybrid name has not been provided.

This cactus prefers low watering needs and full or filtered sunlight outdoors. In lower-desert climates, afternoon shade during summer may help protect the plant from excessive heat. The seller recommends waiting one week after planting before watering. Handle carefully because the spines can cause injury.
