When keeping a Golden Barrel cactus, you must pay attention to these points to easily take care of it:
1. How to pot a Golden Barrel cactus
Firstly, we need to prepare a suitable pot and soil. The diameter of the pot should be slightly larger than that of the cactus, not too large, because if the pot is too big and the soil is excessive, it will be difficult to dry after watering, leading to waterlogging and root rot.
Of course, you cannot use a pot that is too small. Soil is very important; loose, breathable, and well-draining soil is a priority. You must add some river sand or vermiculite to the soil.
Or something like coal slag to increase drainage and aeration, and avoid using soil that is too cohesive, otherwise, it is easy to accumulate water and cause rot.
For a cactus that has just been potted or repotted, there is no need to water too much. If the soil has a little moisture, there is no need to water. After planting, place it directly in a shady and well-ventilated area to reduce sunlight.
