Ferocactus latispinus 'devils tongue'

Broad, bold, and armed with dramatic flat spines that curl like crimson hooks, Ferocactus latispinus doesn’t just sit in a pot — it commands it. Its squat, ribbed body is often blue-green, giving it a cool tone that contrasts perfectly with its intense spines and occasional bright blooms.

Known as the “Devil’s Tongue,” this cactus thrives in hot sun and harsh conditions, making it perfect for those who like their plants a little intense and a lot unforgettable.
