	How to How to Grow Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) - WikiHow

		Echinocactus grusonii and most other barrels will produce hundreds of pods each season.
		For those who plan to use a large number of Echinocactus grusonii in their landscaping, get the plants when they are small and space them out enough to allow growth.

		In the early days of cactus classification, the genus Echinocactus was conceived of as a very broad category taking in many diverse globular cacti from both North America and South America.
		Now, however, the name is restricted to 5 species native to Mexico and the southwestern U.S. These plants, along with members of the genus Ferocactus, are popularly known as barrel cacti.
		Although there are not many species of Echinocactus, plants are abundant in nature over a wide area from the California deserts in the north down to northern Oaxaca.

		Golden barrel cactus is a wonderful plant for adding texture, color and shape to Southwestern landscapes.
		Echinocactus grusonii's use is restricted somewhat due to lack of cold hardiness, but it can withstand middle-teen temperatures -- especially older specimens.
		Besides, it performs wonderfully in containers, so people in colder climates should be able to enjoy it, too.

	Echinocactus grusonii
		In 1990, populations of Echinocactus grusonii were the focus of an intensive rescue effort in the Rio Moctezuma Valley in Mexico.
		This valley, the primary habitat of the golden barrel cactus, was scheduled to be flooded after the construction of a major dam.
		Though few Echinocactus grusonii remain in the wild today, their off-site conservation has allowed for widespread propagation by nurseries and botanical gardens, and the golden barrel cactus is now one of the most popular cacti in cultivation.

		I've done quite a number of grafts of juvenile Echinocactus grusonii plants onto various stock plants.
		I had a lot of small Echinocactus grusonii plants because my large (but still juvenile) Echinocactus grusonii was damaged from a mite attack.
		The juvenile offsets which were used were pretty pathetic-looking, and handling had damaged a lot of the areoles and spines.

		Crisscrossing miles of badlands there was nothing but sweat, tears and stunted chollas enlivened only by meeting a lone desert tortoise as daft as me. In an attempt to recoup something positive from the day I dropped by the Calico Early Man excavations near Barstow for an entertaining guided visit.
		The local name for the plant is 'cotton top' and true to name all the large specimens I saw in the Southwest had fruits encased in cotton wool as an aid to seed dispersal.
		I was lucky enough to find the Sclerocactus that evening and exploring the habitat I also found Echinocactus polycephalus again along the crest of the rocky hills.
