About Ferocactus Latispinus
Ferocactus Latispinus is a cactus of the Cactaceae family, native to Mexico and southwestern USA. Its most distinctive feature is barrel-shaped body with curved robust spines, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
Every specimen of Ferocactus Latispinus from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. That's why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
