Details
This cactus need infrequent watering to keep the soil moist. Well draining soil will prevent root rot. Water less frequently during the winter months.
For soil needs, well draining and sandy is a must. Use a cactus mix fertizlier during the growing season. Repot the cactus every few years or when the roots start coming out of the drainage holes. Repot at the beggining of the growing season if able.
Golden Barrel Cactus can sometimes produce a flower, or even a fruit. the seeds from that fruit can be planted to create more cacti.
