Oreocereus trollii

From: £72.49

Otherwise known as  ‘The Old Man of the Mountains’ or ‘The Old Man of the Andes’ this is a beautiful, easy to grow, plant that is native to the mountains of South America and forms clumping clusters of chunky columns up to to 2' in height. Columnar stems are densely covered in white wool (actually white radial spines that have evolved to resemble "hairs"), that totally obscures the body of the plant. Some bright red spines are visible above the wool. Flowers are violet red and semi-tubular in shape. In cultivation, Oreocereus requires bright light to produce dense hairs, but, as a former mountain dweller, does not care for extremely high temperatures. It prefers porous cactus soil with adequate drainage and bright light to full sun with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry, let it dry out between waterings and keep dry during cold winter months. It is preferable not to water on overcast days, humid days or cold winter days.  Best to protect from frost to prevent possible scarring but is hardy to around -6°C.
