Golden Barrel Cactus has a recorded range of 8–40°C; Hadjod (Veldt Grape) is listed at 12–40°C. The recorded ranges overlap from 12 to 40°C. That overlap compares the draft entries; it is not proof that either plant will suit the spot.
Golden Barrel Cactus is marked moderate, compared with easy for Hadjod (Veldt Grape). Treat that as a planning estimate, then ask which care tasks each plant needs in your conditions.
A comparison cannot set a watering date. Check moisture first: pot size, growing mix and current weather change how quickly a container dries. Record what you notice and decide when to check again.
Read the RHS guide to watering containers for general container advice, or use Plont’s plant observation checklist. The RHS source supports this general advice; it does not verify the species-specific draft values above.
