Golden barrel cactus is a low-maintenance cactus that flourishes in arid conditions. It requires full sun exposure to encourage robust growth. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, to avoid root rot – a critical care point for golden barrel cactus's survival. Overwintering requires a cool, frost-free environment, as golden barrel cactus is not frost-tolerant.
