Ferocactus Peninsulae 2.5” — A Compact Desert Jewel
Meet the Ferocactus Peninsulae 2.5”, a hardy and striking barrel cactus native to the Baja California Peninsula. Known for its deep green, ribbed body lined with bold, reddish spines, this slow-growing beauty thrives with minimal care and adds a rugged, sculptural touch to any cactus collection.
The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):
• Light: Loves bright, direct light—a sunny windowsill or grow light will keep it happy.
• Water: Prefers a “soak and dry” routine—water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
• Humidity: Thrives in low humidity—typical home environments are perfect.
What It’s Telling You:
• Happy Signs: Firm, plump body with vibrant spines.
• Needs TLC: Wrinkling? It’s thirsty. Mushy or discolored? Cut back on watering.
Good News for Pet Parents:
This plant is not pet-safe due to its sharp spines, so keep it away from curious paws.
Extra Love for Detail Lovers:
• The 2.5” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the height of the plant.
