Product Description

The Ferocactus pottsii, known as the Potts’ barrel cactus, is an impressive giant specimen cactus, native to the arid regions of Mexico. Renowned for its large, cylindrical shape and massive size, it features prominent ribs covered in dense clusters of thick, red to yellow spines. The spines form a dramatic contrast against the green to blue-green body, adding to its sculptural beauty. When mature, it produces vibrant yellow flowers atop its crown, making the Ferocactus pottsii a standout in any desert landscape or collection. Its giant size and fierce appearance give it a commanding presence.
