The Golden Barrel Cactus is a very popular plant among people who grow cacti. The plant has an interesting appearance and comes in different shades of green, yellow and sometimes even pink! You can also grow these exotic looking plants indoors if you wish. Read on to find out more about Golden barrel cactus care.
The best place to buy succulents is from a local nursery. They are much cheaper and ready for you if you buy them at the store. The cost of shipping them would be way more than what it would cost to buy at a nursery or hardware store.
A Golden Barrel cactus planted in the right environment can grow up to 10 feet tall, but most are only a few feet. When the plant produces new buds, they will start out green before turning yellow and then brown as they age.
The firestick cactus, also known as pencil cactus or dyckia, is a beautiful succulent that produces small bulbs that look like miniature balls of fire when they burst open. Propagation of this plant is a great way to expand your collection!
Euphorbia plants are some of the most interesting, eye-catching succulents available. With their unique look and feel, these plants make great focal points in gardens, beds, and containers.
Air plants do not need direct sunlight. However, bright indirect light is best because it will encourage the plant to spread its beautiful leaves. The leaves of an air plant may look like they are underwater, but in actuality the air plant absorbs moisture from the air to survive.
Most varieties of palm prefer to receive full sunlight throughout the day, but the Madagascar palm is slightly different. While one of its care requirements includes plenty of bright, indirect sunlight (it can’t tolerate direct sunlight for long stretches), it adapts well to semi-shaded environments. If you find that your plant does not seem to be thriving in an area that receives little or no direct sunlight, you should move it to a brighter location.
