per item
Espostoa lanata "Peruvian Old Man Cactus" is a slow-growing, columnar cactus growing to 10~20cm in 10 years, and potentially up to 2 metres in about 100 years. Flowers will not appear until the plant is very old.
It should kept in a pot either outdoors or indoors only in a sunny position. Growth is controlled by pot size, watering and feeding. It can be kept in the same small pot for many years.
It is drought and light frost hardy. MUST be kept out of rain
Plant You Will Receive
The plant you receive will look similar to the one displayed in the photos.
The plant in the photos is displayed in a 70mm pot.
It will be sent bare-rooted, without soil. If you would like a black plastic pot to go with the plant, please select the "With 70mm pot" option in the shopping cart. You will then receive a 70mm plastic pot with your plant.
Recommended Care
Buy potting soil designed for Succulents and Cacti, if you're uncertain about soil type. Alternatively, you can use 50% normal potting soil with 50% pumice.
It is a good idea to place small pebbles as top soil to steady the stem of the cactus as it grows.
Usually water once a week is sufficient. Soak the soil completely, then let it dry completely before re-watering. Cacti do NOT like soggy soil stuck around their roots, so a bit more neglect is usually better than too much coddling!
