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.

Temperature: Warm to intermediate conditions. Protect from frost.
Media: Very free-draining cactus or mineral-based mix.
