Product Description

The Ferocactus chrysacanthus x Ferocactus longispinus hybrid is a striking barrel cactus known for its robust appearance and vivid red spines. The cylindrical body is ribbed and can reach an impressive size over time, with thick, fleshy segments adorned by long, hooked spines that provide a fierce yet captivating look. The spines can vary in length, creating a dynamic contrast against the plant’s green-blue skin. In spring, it produces beautiful yellow or red flowers at its crown, making it a focal point in any succulent collection. Its resilience and bold aesthetics make it a true desert beauty.
