Product Description

The Echinocactus ingens form longispinus is a spectacular barrel cactus known for its strong, elongated spines that encase its round, ribbed body. The body itself has a greenish-blue hue, with prominent ribs that enhance the symmetry of this cactus. The defining feature, its spines, are thick, long, and highly noticeable, radiating outward and giving the cactus a formidable look. Over time, this cactus can grow into a large specimen, and in late summer or early autumn, it may produce small, vibrant yellow flowers at its crown, making it even more striking.
