Thelocactus setispinus, commonly referred to as the Miniature Barrel Cactus or Needle-Spine Cactus, is a charming and compact succulent native to the deserts of northern Mexico and southern Texas. This cactus features a small, spherical body adorned with prominent, radial spines that range in color from white to yellow, and a central spine that often has a reddish hue. The spines create a striking contrast against the cactus's green body, making it a visually appealing addition to any succulent collection.
In the summer, Thelocactus setispinus produces stunning, funnel-shaped flowers that can be yellow, orange, or red, adding a burst of color to its spiky exterior. This cactus thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
It can be grown in containers, rock gardens, or as part of a mixed succulent arrangement.
