Austrocephalocereus dybowskii XXL

Austrocephalocereus dybowskii – The Fluffy Columnar Giant (XXL Size)

The Austrocephalocereus dybowskii is a rare and eye-catching columnar cactus, best known for its dense covering of fine, white hairs that give it a soft, woolly appearance—earning it nicknames like the “Old Man Cactus” (though technically a different genus). In XXL size, this cactus becomes a striking vertical feature in any indoor or conservatory setting. 🌵✨

Native to Brazil, Austrocephalocereus dybowskii thrives in arid, rocky environments and brings that desert drama into your home with very little care required. Its fuzzy exterior not only adds texture and intrigue, but also helps protect it from sun and heat—making it as functional as it is fabulous.

Care Instructions:

• 🌞 Light: Loves full sun or very bright, indirect light. Place near a sunny window or under grow lights.
• 💧 Watering: Water sparingly—allow the soil to fully dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering even further.
• 🌡️ Temperature: Warm, dry environments are ideal. Protect from frost and cold drafts (keep above 10°C).
• 🪴 Soil: Use a well-draining cactus mix with added grit or sand. Ensure pot has drainage holes.
