Styling and inspiration with Cephalocereus – Oudeman cactus

The Cephalocereus is a real eye-catcher that immediately adds character to your interior. With its long, hairy appearance, it almost looks like a work of art in itself. Combine it with other cacti and succulents in a minimalist setting to create a desert-like atmosphere. Place it in a simple terracotta pot to emphasize its natural charm, or go for a modern, metal pot for a contemporary look.

This cactus looks great on a sunny windowsill, in a greenhouse, or as part of an indoor cactus garden. It can also be combined with low succulents such as Echeveria species or Houseleek (Sempervivum) to create height differences. Its impressive vertical growth makes it the focal point of your plant arrangement.

For a rustic look, integrate the old man cactus into a rock garden or decorative sand bed. Use gravel or decorative stones as ground cover to create a harmonious look. With its unique shape and texture, the Cephalocereus is not only an asset to plant lovers, but also an interesting conversation piece for guests.

Although this cactus is usually kept indoors, it can be placed outside in warmer climates as long as it is protected from rain and extreme cold. Consider placing it on a patio or balcony, where its quirky appearance will add a touch of desert flair.
