ID, please?

21 years ago

Hi, this is my first cactus, i bought it at the supermarket 2 weeks ago, but it has no "instructions manual", i was told that the name on the vase is the name of the vase(it says "cactus campana").I read some books and i believe its an Esposoa...but i aint sure.

He is around 10 centimeters tall, very hairy (one reason i like it). I'd like to know it's name and anything related (from water to flower). Thanks in advance.

Not Epostoa. I think it is an Oreocereus celsianus. I'm not sure but it is a pretty typical supermarket cactus that looks like that. See the sharp spines amongst all that hair? That's typical Oreocereus.

Hello Kactus, your plant is definitely an Oreocereus, likely to be celsianus... It's not usual that they offset when they are so small. It's a nice little specimen.
