Echinocactus grusonii intermedius | Short spined Golden Barrel Cactus

The Short Spined Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii var. intermedius) is a rare and highly collectible form of the classic Golden Barrel. Unlike the standard variety, this cultivar produces shorter, neater spines that highlight its perfectly rounded, ribbed body and rich golden tones. Native to Mexico, this slow-growing cactus is prized for its striking symmetry and compact look, making it a standout specimen in any collection. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it thrives in bright light and well-draining soil—an ideal choice for cactus enthusiasts and rare plant collectors alike.
