More information about the Cephalocereus

Cephalocereus – Old Man Cactus


The Cephalocereus , better known as the Old Man Cactus, is a striking and iconic cactus that is instantly recognizable by its long, white hairs that resemble a grayish beard. This cactus is native to the warm and dry regions of Mexico and is known for its unique appearance and strong survival ability. Thanks to its characteristic hairs, the Cephalocereus is a real eye-catcher in any plant collection.


Why choose a Cephalocereus?


The Oudeman cactus adds a touch of humor and charm to your interior or plant corner. Its hairy appearance not only has a decorative function, but also protects the cactus from the hot sun in its natural environment. This makes the Cephalocereus not only a fascinating plant, but also a practical choice for lovers of exotic and unique plants.


Caring for the Oudeman Cactus


• Location: Give this cactus a spot with lots of direct sunlight. It likes a warm and bright environment.

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water moderately in summer and minimally in winter to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Ideal growing conditions are between 20-30°C. The Cephalocereus does not tolerate frost well.

• Pot and soil: Use well-draining cactus soil and a pot with drainage holes. This will keep the root structure healthy.


Decorative value


The Cephalocereus is not just a plant, but a real conversation piece in any interior. It fits perfectly in a modern or rustic setting and combines beautifully with other cacti and succulents. Thanks to its elongated growth, it can grow into an impressive appearance, which makes it suitable for larger spaces.


Safety tip


Although the hairs of the Cephalocereus appear soft, the spines beneath the hairy surface can be sharp. Wear gloves when handling the cactus.
