Description
The Peruvian Old Man Cactus (Espostoa lanata) is a rare and eye-catching columnar cactus, easily recognized by its dense coat of white, woolly hairs. This natural “beard” protects the cactus from harsh sun in its native Peruvian Andes and gives it its iconic name.
Over time, this cactus grows tall and columnar, making it a dramatic addition to balconies, cactus gardens, and indoor displays. In the right conditions, mature plants may produce small nocturnal blooms followed by edible fruits, making them even more special for collectors.
✨ Collector’s Note: The Peruvian Old Man is highly sought after by cactus enthusiasts for its distinctive hairy covering and slow, stately growth. It’s a conversation piece and a must-have in rare cactus collections.
🎁 Perfect for Gifting: Its quirky, unique appearance makes it a memorable eco-friendly gift for plant lovers, collectors, or as a fun décor addition.
