Peruvian Old Lady (Espostoa melanostele): 

A columnar cactus covered with gold spines and a thick, woolly coating that resembles hair. 

It is native to dry, sunny habitats at high elevation in Peru and is extremely drought tolerant. 

Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot.

Some soil may come loose during transportation, this is not a problem for the health of the plant.

Plant will be shipped well packed.

Please note: If you are experiencing cold weather in your area, it is recommended that you purchase a 72 hour heat pad for transportation. I can offer one for $3.5 to you on my store site. Otherwise, your plant might freeze and become damaged.
