Thank you for looking at my Etsy listing! Riverview Botanical Gardens is a Locally owned Nursey in Fallbrook California, growing high quality locally grown Cactus and Succulents. You will receive the Cactus shown above. This Old Man Cactus is around 8 inches high, to around 5 and a half inches wide from spine to spine. Care guide Full sun, water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Allow soil to completely dry between watering. Succulents grow best in a porous potting soil. To much water will cause the Cactus to rot. All plants are shipped bare root.
This is the actual Cactus you will receive. It is very rare to find one of this size online so grab it while you can.
Native to the Andes of Peru, this homegrown giant old man is covered in fine “hairs” that cover it from head to bottom, offering shade and heat protection.
Oreocereus celsianus, or the "old man of the mountain" is a member of the family Cactaceae native to the high lands of the Andes in South America, and is named for its fluffy white hair, which may protect it from intense sunlight and extreme temperatures
Orangish-yellow spikes protrude from around the plant.
This cactus needs bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. No returns on live order plants. If plants arrive damaged, please provide photos within 24 hours of delivery.
