Old Man of the Andes Cactus is native to the highlands of the Andes mountains in South America. Fibrous white hairs cover its spines and give it an overall shaggy appearance. In desert climates, protection from midday sun may be required to prevent sunburn. Prefers porous well drained soil. Cold hardy to 10F. Keep dry in winter.
