The Devil's tongue, also known as Ferocactus latispinus is a unique and eye-catching species of barrel cactus in the Ferocactus genus!  

With its prickly red spikes sticking out like a tongue, it's hard not to do a double-take when you come across this spiky wonder. But don't let its common name fool you – this plant is totally friendly and perfect for any type of gardener, whether they're an experienced green thumb or just starting out. 

This devil's tongue plant blooms in autumn and early winter and lasts for about two weeks, which is one of the reasons it is a popular plant. The funnel-shaped flowers are simply stunning, with rich hues of rose, purple, mauve, and purple-blue, and their eye-catching flower buds stand out against the plant's green foliage.  

Native to the Southwestern united states, this form of devil's tongue cactus, with its cylindrical or spherical shape, can reach heights of up to 6.6 ft and boasts an impressive array of spines that start out bright red before maturing into a striking gray color.  

But those spines aren't just for show – they actually serve multiple purposes like radiating excess heat, collecting moisture from the environment, and protecting the plant from pesky predators who might want to take a bite out of this beauty.  

These cacti are slow-growing, especially at the start of new growth. If well taken care of, they have healthy growth. This solitarily growing cactus can be propagated from seeds and stem cuttings. 

The fruit of Ferocactus plants, including Devil's Tongue, is generally edible and has a sweet, juicy flavor. The fruit is typically red or yellow when ripe and the fruits can be eaten raw or cooked. However, the fruit is covered in spines and can be difficult to harvest. In addition, some people may be allergic to the fruit or experience digestive issues after eating it. While the fruit is edible, it is not commonly consumed and is not widely available in stores. 

So, if you're looking for new plants or something fun and exciting to add to your garden collection, look no further than the devil's tongue barrel cactus -Ferocactus latispinus! 

Watering Needs 

Desert plants, such as cacti, are adapted to grow with minimal water. Devil's tongue store water throughout their stems, and as a result they are one of the ultimate drought-resistant plants.  Cactus are like Camels; they drink up a lot of water quickly and then can last a long time before needing water again. 

In comparison to an older plant, a young devil's tongue cactus will require a bit more water and attention. During the growing season, which is between early spring and autumn, water them once every two or three weeks. Its watering requirements drastically decrease to once a month in the winter when temperatures drop. 

As a general rule, water the plant only after the top layer of soil has completely dried out. If the Ferocactus doesn't receive enough moisture for an extended period of time, discoloration, pale stems, and browning can occur, leading to stunted growth. In contrast, overwatering can cause root rot and fungal infection. 

Light Requirements 

The devil's tongue needs a lot of sunshine - either full sun or partial shade. If you're starting with a new plant that you recently bought from a nursery, don't expose it to too much direct light all at once. Gradually increases its exposure to bright light so that it doesn't get burned by the intense rays. 

When grown in full sun, the foliage of the devil's tongue plant turns almost grayish-green, and the cactus spines turn a reddish-brown, which adds a lot of interest to your outdoor space. 

Keep an eye on your plant's leaves - if they start looking burnt, consider investing in a sunshade or moving it somewhere shadier. And guess what? You can even grow these beauties indoors! Just make sure to position them near southern and western windows for optimal sunlight exposure. 

Don't leave them languishing in dim light though - move them outdoors from time to time when natural light is scarce (like during winter). With proper care and attention paid to their light requirements, this barrel cactus is sure to be a statement piece wherever they grow! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The devil's tongue prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture in dry soil can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in cactus and has specialized cactus potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your cactus thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

And let's not forget about fertilizing! Your cactus only needs a tiny bit applied once a year in springtime with a natural organic fertilizer that has lower doses of NPK (5-10-5). No harsh chemicals here, folks - just pure, natural goodness that lasts longer and encourages nutrient absorption, so your blooming cactus stays happy as a clam. Remember, excessive fertilizer can cause fungal infections. 

So, go ahead and give your little guy some love with a good natural fertilizer because when it comes to soil and fertilizers, through experience, we know what works best! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The adorable devil's tongues are not frost-hardy and can thrive in warm and humid conditions, making them perfect for cozy indoor spaces. It can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 10–11. 

In cooler zones, it can be kept outdoors during the heat pack in the summer and brought in as the temperature drops. Ferocactus latispinus typically becomes dormant when temperatures drop below 50 °F. 

During dormancy, the plant's roots will stop growing and conserve its energy until temperatures warm up again. It is important to avoid overwatering the plant during dormancy, as this can lead to root rot. 

We think you will love this plant – order your very own Ferocactus latispinus devil's tongue today and start enjoying its beauty in no time!

Rejuvenates your Robovac, but one caution
I was a little wary buying third-party aftermarket parts for my Eufy Robovac 30c, however, all the parts in this kit are virtually identical to OEM parts. I replaced all three brushes and all three filters and let it loose on my Golden Retriever-inhabited living room. I can honestly say the result was a 50% increase in the amount of fur collected. I suspect that over time there is a loss of performance so gradual that it's easy to not notice. I assume the new filters returned the vacuum power to it's original level of suction was a big factor. When I was browsing through all the available choices here on Amazon, a plastic "ring" kept appearing in many of the product images, however, people did not know what it is for or simply did not get one in their shipment. If you look at the photos I've attached one can see that I did indeed get one and figured out its purpose, to remove fur and/or hair from the horizontal brush. The bottom line is that I would definitely buy this item again. =========== EDIT, four weeks later: Since replacing the main roller brush with the one included with this product, I have experienced several “Roller brush is stuck” shutdowns and alerts. In each case, there has been nothing tangled in the brush and the brush was free to spin. I have to say it’s quite annoying to come home expecting the floor to be cleaned but only to find this error long before the job was finished. Today it gave this error twice in one cleaning cycle. I never experienced this problem with the OEM roller brush.

Euphy works good as new!
Style: 19 Pack
As soon as I opened the package everything looked the same- pre-filters, filters, main brush, and side brushes. I changed the big brush first;the only issue was the new brush body didn't have the white arrows to help aligning but that didn't affect how the brush worked. I changed filter and pre-filter, and finally the side brushes. When I turned on my "Goophy" and tried to let her run the side brushes were a little too (Goophy's side brushes sounded a little louder). I trimmed the side brushes a little and all was well. Goophy didn't want to run herself but it didn't take long for me to figure out it wasn't the new brushes ;just the operator pushing the wrong button. My Goophy Euphy did what she was supposed to do- vacuum the carpet and tile floor. Goophy Euphy still wanted to take the long way to her charging station which was nothing new and easily corrected. Over all the new brushes and filter restored Goophy Euphy back to when we first used her!

Don't be cheap like me - buy these and save yourself the hassle!
Style: 19 Pack
I made the mistake of going with another, slightly cheaper set of replacement parts for our Eufy RoboVac 11S. I did not heed the cautionary tales which lead me having to find replacement parts for the replacement parts. This brand fits our vacuum perfectly - the corner brushes don't pop off, the filter is the right size and the roller brush gets sufficiently tangled with cat hair so clearly also a good fit. My only concern (and why I only gave four stars) is - surprise! - the corner brushes. Do they stay on? YES! In fact, they is so secure, I had difficulty swapping one out. Here's the peculiarity of the brand - the "whiskers" on the spinner fell out. I found them all over the floor, on different surface types and under various conditions; they were not getting caught on any one thing. Not all at once, but over two or three uses, one of the corner brushes had become devoid of almost two entire spokes! Ironically, the little guy can't seem to pick up his own mess but I digress. Without the whiskers to grasp, removing the part was difficult. I ended up using a small flathead screwdriver for leverage to pop it off. While the other corner brush appeared to have shed some whiskers as well, it was not in need of replacement. Despite the shedding, this will be my first go-to for replacement parts next go round.
