Collection: Oreocereus

Explore our Oreocereus collection, featuring columnar cacti known for their distinctive, woolly white hairs and spiny stems. Native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes in South America, Oreocereus species—commonly known as Old Man of the Andes—have thick, white hair that protects them from harsh sunlight and cold temperatures. Their spiny stems produce red or orange flowers in spring, adding a splash of color to their rugged appearance. Thriving in full sun, well-draining soil, and minimal watering, Oreocereus is ideal for desert gardens and cactus collections, adding unique texture and character.
