The Old Man Cactus, aptly named for its shaggy white appearance that resembles the flowing beard of a wise elder. 

Originating from arid regions of Central and South America, the Old Man Cactus is a testament to nature's resilience and endurance. These cacti have adapted to thrive in harsh desert environments, making them exceptional choices for indoor cultivation in various climates.

In the wild, these cacti stand as solitary sentinels in the arid landscape, their shaggy white spines protecting them from the intense sun and extreme temperatures. Their impressive stature and distinctive appearance make them a true marvel of the desert.

Light:

Old Man Cacti thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a sunny window or in a spot with filtered sunlight to ensure their health and vibrant growth.

Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These cacti are drought-tolerant and prefer infrequent but thorough watering. During the growing season (spring and summer), water sparingly, and reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves. Collections or 'mixed' listings for plants will be selected dependant on availability and carefully hand-picked to ensure their quality.
