Old Man of the Mountain Cactus Oreocereus Trollii

Q: Benefits

✔ Thick, Woolly White Hairs – Creates a striking, aged look while protecting the cactus from harsh climates. ✔ Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance – Thrives in dry conditions with minimal care. ✔ Cold-Hardy & Resilient – Can tolerate cooler temperatures better than many cacti. ✔ Bright Red or Magenta Flowers – Blooms in summer, providing a beautiful contrast to its white fuzz. ✔ Perfect for Landscaping & Containers – Ideal for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and decorative pots .

Q: Cactus Care

✔ After Arrival: Let your Old Man of the Andes Cactus acclimate 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

The Oreocereus trollii commonly known as the Old Man of the Andes Cactus, is a compact, columnar cactus famous for its thick, white, woolly hairs that give it a fuzzy, aged appearance. This slow-growing cactus develops short, curved reddish spines beneath its dense white hairs, providing protection from the intense sun and cold temperatures of its native habitat.

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.
