Oreocereus doelzianus EP62

This Peruvian native grows in high altitudes mainly in the eastern slopes in inter-Andean valleys and is covered with wool as a protection against the cold. The flowers are bright red and zygomorphic, suggesting that this plant is pollinated by birds. This is a frost hardy cactus, hardy in USDA Zones 9-11. It requires full sun exposures, a well draining cactus soil. Water sparingly from March till October (weekly during summertime, if the weather is sunny enough). Less or no water during cold winter months, or when night temperatures remain below 10° to prevent root loss. It is sensitive to overwatering (rot prone)
