Old Man Cactus (Cephalocereus senilis) 4" pot
Old Man Cactus is a distinctive columnar cactus covered in long, soft-looking white hairs that give it its signature “old man” appearance. Native to Mexico, this slow-growing cactus adds tons of texture and personality to a sunny windowsill or cactus collection. Despite its fuzzy appearance, sharp spines are hidden underneath the hairs, so handle with care.
Light: Bright light to several hours of direct sunlight; a sunny south- or west-facing window is ideal
Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings; water sparingly, especially during winter
Soil: Very well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice
Difficulty: Easy
