Oreocereus doelzianus, commonly known as the "Old Man of the Andes," is a distinctive cactus native to the high altitudes of central Peru. It features cylindrical, olive-green stems that are densely covered with white, woolly hairs, giving it a unique, beard-like appearance. Mature plants typically reach heights of up to 3 feet and a diameter of 2.4 to 3.1 inches. They produce bright tubular flowers that vary in color (pictured above). This cactus thrives in light shade to morning sun and is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established. It is best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 8 to 11.
