In spring, Oreocereus Celsianus blooms tubular semi-funnel-shaped flowers that grow up to 7cm &#8211; 9cm (2.75\u201d-3.5\u201d) long and 3cm (1.18\u201d) wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful satiny flowers of the Old Man of the Andes come in different hues such as bright red, lilac-pink, orange, yellow, magenta, and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oreocereus Celsianus is native to northwestern Argentina and dry highland regions of Andes, Bolivia.

It\u2019s best to move the \u201cOld Man\u201d outdoors before it reaches full maturity. However, if your house is built with high ceilings this plant will make a beautiful corner piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its intimidating height and appearance, this plant is easy to care for and grow. It\u2019s frost-hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as \u221212 \u00b0C (10 \u00b0F). Old Man of the Andes thrives well in temperatures of 10\u00b0C &#8211; 32\u00b0C(50\u00b0F &#8211; 90\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you will grow Oreocereus Celsianus outdoors, place its container or make sure it\u2019s planted in a location where it can be exposed to partial to full sun for 5 to 6 hours daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thin hairs that cover the plant from top to bottom provide ample protection from heat. However, it cannot withstand direct exposure to intense sunlight. During a heatwave, move your succulent plant to a shaded area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoors, you can place your young Oreocereus celsianus on a sunny window sill facing South. Old Man of the Andes will go into etiolation where its stems stretch out and wither if it doesn\u2019t get enough sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it outgrows the height of your window sill, move it outdoors where it will get the light exposure it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oreocereus-celsianus-succulent.png\" alt=\"Oreocereus celsianus succulent\" class=\"wp-image-3483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oreocereus-celsianus-succulent.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oreocereus-celsianus-succulent-180x300.png 180w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oreocereus-celsianus-succulent-7x12.png 7w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Old Man of Andes is the perfect house plant for busy people because it can survive for weeks without water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the \u201csoak and dry\u201d method of watering. Water the soil thoroughly and wait for it to dry completely between waterings. Avoid overhead watering or misting. Water the soil and not the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test the soil\u2019s dryness level by inserting your finger 2\u201d deep into the soil. Keep in mind that the roots of succulent plants rot easily and overwatering will kill them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spring and summer, water your cactus once a week. In winter, give them little to no water because they enter their dormant phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pot and Soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a Terracotta or ceramic pot with drainage holes for your Oreocereus celsianus. This type of container prevents moisture retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your house plant needs a well-draining potting mix. Use a cactus mix to ensure good aeration and water drainage. Combine it with plenty of mineral grit such as pumice, perlite, and coarse sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During spring and summer, add diluted cactus fertilizer to your soil once a month. This will provide additional nutrients your plant needs when it is actively growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The old man of the Andes is a fast-grower. It will outgrow its pot every spring. You need to repot it several times before it reaches its maximum height of 10 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-propagate-oreocereus-celsianus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-propagate-oreocereus-celsianus\"><\/span><strong>How to Propagate Oreocereus Celsianus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oreocereus celsianus can be propagated from stem cuttings and seeds. The best time to take cuttings or sow seeds is in summer or spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Stem Cuttings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Choose stems that are not dry or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Cut the stems across with a disinfected knife or shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Leave the cuttings to dry in a warm area in a vertical position. Dry small cuttings for 5-7 days and large cuttings for 10-14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: When the base of the stem cutting has been callused, place it in a container filled with sand, peat, and some charcoal. Allow your cuttings to grow roots in the temporary substrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: When the roots appear, repot your Oreocereus celsianus in terracotta or ceramic container filled with cactus mix combined with grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Propagating from Seeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Get a container without holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Fill the bottom of your container with charcoal and gravel up to 1\u201d high. Top it with fine gravel and coarse sand. Next, add the compost made up of equal portions of cactus compost, coarse sand, and ground charcoal. Top it with small gravel or rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Divide the top layer into equal parts and insert your seeds with a tweezer. Spray little water on the seeds. Cover the tray with plastic and put it on top of a heating pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: Place your container in an area exposed to indirect light. Use artificial lighting if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 4: When seedlings appear, repot them in a terracotta or ceramic container with drainage holes. Use cactus mix combined with gritty materials such as perlite, pumice, or sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1585596286968\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/><strong>Is Oreocereus Celsianus Toxic to Pets?<\/strong><br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Oreocereus Celsianus is not listed as toxic to cats and dogs on the website of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants\">ASPCA<\/a>).<br\/><br\/>However, it is best to keep your pets away from them because their spines and needles can be harmful.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1585596301775\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/><strong>Why is My Oreocereus Celsianus Dying?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>These are the two culprits for your cactus\u2019 declining health: Overwatering and pest infestation.<br\/><br\/><strong>Overwatering<\/strong><br\/><br\/>Excessive watering of drought-resistant succulents will lead to root rot which can progress to fungal infection.
