Product Description

Ferocactus macrodiscus is a distinctive, low-growing barrel cactus native to central Mexico, forming a flattened, disc-like body with broad ribs and large, recurved central spines that range in color from red to deep pink. Its compact, symmetrical form is crowned in spring by striking pink to magenta flowers, often larger than the plant body itself. A slow-growing, drought-tolerant species, it thrives in rocky terrain and offers a powerful visual punch in a compact size—perfect for pots and collectors.
