Description

The Oreocereus doelzianus commonly known as the Old Man Cactus, is a columnar, cold-hardy cactus distinguished by its thick, white, woolly hairs that cover its body, giving it an aged, bearded appearance. Beneath its woolly coat, the Old Man Cactus has sharp red or yellow spines, which help protect it from harsh conditions. In summer, mature plants produce vibrant pink to red flowers.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil. 

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. 🌡️❄️

Product Details

Benefits

✔ Thick, White Woolly Hairs – Provides insulation and protection while giving it a striking, aged look.
✔ Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance – Thrives in dry conditions with minimal care.
✔ Cold-Hardy & Resilient – Can tolerate cooler temperatures better than many cacti.
✔ Bright Pink to Red Blooms – Stunning summer flowers contrast beautifully with its white fuzz.

Cactus Care & FAQs

✔ After Arrival: Let your Old Man Cactus rest in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun to partial shade for best growth. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 15°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it in extreme cold.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 7-10
