Espostoa lanata 'Ea-Nasir' is a selected clone showing unusually strong copper-orange wool and spine colouring around the growing apex, distinguishing it from the more typical silver-white forms commonly seen in cultivation. This columnar Peruvian species develops upright ribbed stems covered in fine woolly growth and soft spination, gradually becoming more impressive with age. The isolated copper-toned phenotype gives this clone a noticeably warmer appearance, especially under strong light. Care Light: Bright light to full sun. Water: Water during active growth, allowing the mix to dry between watering. Temperature: Warm to intermediate conditions. Protect from frost. Media: Very free-draining cactus or mineral-based mix. Feeding: Light feeding during spring and summer. Dormancy: Reduce watering significantly during cooler months. Key Characteristics Growth habit: Upright columnar cactus Stem form: Ribbed woolly columns Colour: Green stems with copper-orange wool Spines: Fine soft spination Plant size: Medium to large columnar species over time Special characteristic: Selected copper-coloured phenotype Origin: Cultivated clone of a Peruvian species
