Currently bang on trend with their own Instagram following, this golden barrel cactus is suitable for beginners and experienced indoor gardeners. Cacti have evolved for arid living - they are used to very little water, hot days and chilly nights, so are perfectly adapted to modern home living! Needing very little in the way of care, cacti are the ideal houseplant for everyone. Happy in a sandy compost, with plenty of light and a little water now and again, your cactus will thrive as it is built to conserve moisture. It will tolerate being dry and will explode into growth when watered correctly (just don't overwater them - they hate it and will curl up their toes!). If you want to do less and get more out of your plants, then these cacti are ideal as they are slow-growing, and this specimen is the perfect living sculpture for home decoration. Ideal to get kids interested in gardening, this cactus is ready to place anywhere you want, from windowsills to desks and shelves. Supplied as a single plant, ready to go on a windowsill near you now! Remember that cacti are prickly beggars - always wear protective clothing when handling.

Remember that cacti are prickly beggars always wear protective clothing when handling.Care GuideAlways use specialist cactus compost when potting. This is sandier and grittier than ordinary compost, which helps keep the plants dry. Keep plants frost-free. Although some will tolerate low temperature, in general they need to be kept above 8-10C, so they make ideal houseplants. While cacti survive on little water, they will not thrive. From April to September, water weekly, allowing the compost to soak up water and drain freely. Feed with a general-purpose feed at 1/4 strength once a fortnight. From October to March, water only when the compost has dried, and then only enough to stop plants shrivelling. Keep your plants in bright but not direct sunlight; an east or west-facing windowsill is ideal.This product is offered for sale for home delivery exclusively via our website only.
