The old man cactus (cephalocereus senilis) is a slow-growing cactus with a cylindrical and spiky stem that covers fine white hair from head to bottom. It produces whitish-pink flowers in spring as it matures. It is native to Mexico, where they are happy in hot and dry conditions.
It is a great addition to your collection of plants especially if you have it displayed in a beautiful pot. This cactus can grow up to 20 inches tall and thrives in full sun to partial shade and a well-drained soil mix. Allow the soil to dry before watering them, and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent root rot.
You can grow them in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11. Fertilizing them once a month during their growing season using a cactus and succulent fertilizer will help them grow faster. The only way to propagate them is via cuttings and seeds.

The Small Old Man of the Andes or Oreocereus Celsianus is a columnar cactus from the higher altitudes of Peru, Argentina and Bolivia. This “Old Man” is so called for the long hairs. Needs bright light and sun. Very drought tolerant. Create your own terrarium or centerpiece using ever-popular succulents, or buy in bulk to use these as wedding or party favors–discounts are available for quantity purchases, just convo me for more info.
Succulent plants are among the hardiest, most drought-tolerant in the world and very easy to maintain, as long as they are planted in a porous cactus/succulent soil, given proper drainage, daily bright light, and not over watered.
