Cacti- Old Man Cactus Two Headed– A Rare Double Take on a Desert Icon

Twice the character, twice the charm – a true collector’s gem

Step into the extraordinary with this unusual variation of the beloved Old Man Cactus (Cephalocereus senilis). This eye-catching specimen features two distinct heads, each with its own unique growth pattern, offering a whimsical and sculptural twist on the classic form.

Why You’ll Love It

Unique Two-Headed Form
This rare mutation showcases dual heads growing side by side, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to any cactus collection. The contrasting growth habits add a sense of movement and personality.

Classic "Old Man" Appeal
Retaining the hallmark shaggy coat of long, white, hair-like spines, this cactus still offers the soft, bearded appearance that has made Cephalocereus senilis an iconic favorite.

A True Collector’s Piece
Highly sought after by cactus enthusiasts, the two-headed variation is not commonly found in cultivation, making it a must-have for those who appreciate rare and unusual plants.

Low Maintenance and Resilient
Just like its single-headed counterpart, this cactus is drought-tolerant and requires minimal care, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced growers.

Care Tips

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Provide bright light to encourage compact growth and healthy spines.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly during dormancy.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Avoid excess moisture.

• Temperature: Protect from frost. Thrives in warm, dry conditions.
