Introducing the Old Man Cactus, the wise elder of the desert world with a multitude of benefits for your home or garden! The Cephalocereus senilis, also known as the old man cactus, has a long history of use in traditional medicine due to its anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant-rich extract. The old man cactus also acts as an excellent air purifier, absorbing carbon dioxide and other toxins from the air to improve air quality. Additionally, the cactus requires very little water to thrive, making it an eco-friendly investment that helps to conserve water. The old man cactus is a slow-growing plant with a long lifespan, making it a sustainable investment for your home or garden.
To ensure optimal growth and prevent the risk of root rot, it is advisable to maintain a shaded environment for the cutting. This shading helps protect the delicate cutting from excessive sunlight exposure, which can lead to moisture loss and stress. Additionally, it is important to refrain from watering the cutting until it begins to develop roots. Once roots begin to develop you may introduce it to more sun and water it every couple weeks unless it's getting rainfall.
