Cacti- Espostoa - Old Man Cactus
Welcome a touch of the wild Andean mountains into your home with the Espostoa, also known as the 'Old Man Cactus'. Famous for its shaggy coat of white hairs, this cactus is both a curiosity and a charm in any plant collection, perfectly suited for adding texture and interest.
Key Features:
Distinctive Appearance: Covered with dense, white, hair-like spines that insulate it against the cold, the 'Old Man Cactus' is as functional as it is fascinating.
Night Blooming Flowers: Produces lovely white or pink flowers that open at night, creating a delightful surprise for the nocturnal observer.
Columnar Growth: This cactus grows upright and can reach significant heights, making it an excellent choice for vertical space in your garden or indoor setting.
Plant Care Tips:
Light: Thrives in full to partial sun. The white hairs protect it from direct sunlight, but it still appreciates plenty of light.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to completely dry between watering sessions. Reduce watering in the winter.
Soil: Prefers well-draining cactus mix soil to prevent water retention and root rot.
The Espostoa is an ideal selection for cactus enthusiasts or anyone looking to enhance their space with a unique, low-maintenance plant. Its eye-catching, plush appearance paired with its upright growth habit makes it a standout addition that brings both texture and personality to any collection.
The first photos serves a display purpose only. The plant with single stem is in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
