The aptly named golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) is now quite rare in its native habit, but it is frequently grown in cultivation as a houseplant. Less frequently, is is used in the outdoor garden in dry climates where temperatures never fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (zone 10 and 11). However, the cactus is less likely to flower indoors than when it’s grown in a garden or yard. Amusingly, this prickly plant’s nickname is “mother-in-law cushion.”
