Discover the beauty of Ferocactus wislizenii, a stunning cactus with hooked spines and a barrel-shaped body. This desert gem can grow up to 3 feet tall and produces vibrant orange-yellow flowers and edible pineapple-shaped fruit.

Thrives in bright light, ideally near a south-facing window or in a sunny garden spot. Watch for sunburn and rotate regularly to ensure even growth and avoid elongation in low light.
