Old Man of the Andes Cactus (Oreocereus trollii) 🌵

The Old Man of the Andes is a fascinating, slow-growing cactus covered in soft, hair-like spines that protect it from intense sunlight and cold. This unique feature also allows the cactus to collect condensation, helping it thrive in high-altitude deserts in Argentina and Bolivia.

Characteristics & Growth Habit 🌱

Growth Style: The Old Man of the Andes cactus is a multi-column cactus that slowly forms clusters over time growing to four to six feet tall.

Protective Hairs: The dense, white “hair” not only gives it a distinctive look but also helps shield it from both sun and frost, just like in its native habitat.

Cold Tolerance: The Old Man of the Andes cactus is suitable for growing zones 8a and up, it can withstand temperatures as low as the mid-teens (°F) at night when kept dry.

Ideal for Your Desert Landscape 🏜️

Low Maintenance: Perfect for xeriscaping and rock gardens or as a unique potted plant for patios.

Container Friendly: The slow growth of the Old Man of the Andes cactus makes it ideal for container gardening, and it can be easily moved to shelter in harsher climates.

Why Choose Our Old Man of the Andes?

Hardy & Resilient: Adapted to harsh, dry environments.

Unique Aesthetic: The white hair provides a visual contrast in any garden.

Pristine Shipping 📦: Carefully packed and wrapped to ensure your cactus arrives in perfect condition ready to be easily planted with a minimal amount of "poke" concerns. All of our plants come with planting, watering and general care instructions.

Add a bit of high-desert charm to your collection with the unique and resilient Old Man Cactus.
