Espostoa Nana Cactus. Dwarf Old Man Cactus.
The Espostoa Nana Cactus is a very decorative variety of cacti with greyish-green columnar stems having a dense covering of fine white-grey hairs especially at the top. This acts as a woolly coat when growing in its native habitat at high altitudes. The stems, which branch from the base have around 16 rounded ribs with oval shaped areoles closely set. Many needle like radial spines are almost concealed by the hair, the one central spine protrudes through it although this can be variable.

When mature enough cactus will produce funnel shaped flowers, opening during the night measuring up to 6cms long.
