Espostoa is a genus of columnar cacti native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, known for their dense covering of white woolly hairs. These slow-growing plants thrive in full sun, well-drained soil, and dry conditions, making them popular in arid gardens and collections for their striking texture and appearance.
