Columnar wooly cactus ID help

Post by lockheed »

I bought a cactus like that, but I can't ID it.

Does anyone recognise what it is and what kind of soil it likes?

Oreocereus trollii, I think. They're not fussy, regular free-draining cactus mix as described in the "Cultivation" forum is fine. Native to the high Andes Mountains, they need plenty of sun but don't especially like heat.
