CEPHALOCEREUS 
OLD MEN CACTI 
These humanly interesting cacti are found all the way from 
Florida to Argentina. They vary greatly in habit, some being 
but a yard high, others reaching skyward almost 50 feet. Some 
are single columned, as the Mexican Old Man cactus, others 
are much branched. All of them are characterized by having 
more or less developed pseudocephalia or ‘‘heads’’ of silky 
white hair, from which the flowers emerge. This hairy head 
may be strikingly developed with long silky-white tresses in 
thick spectacular mats. 
Culture: They like a light sandy soil, moderate waterings and 
sun or partial shade. After they are well established they will 
thrive with feedings of Cactus Food.
