Product Description

Copiapoa cinerea var. albispina is a stunning, slow-growing cactus native to Chile’s Atacama Desert. This grafted form is distinguished by its silvery-grey stem, which contrasts beautifully with its white spines—a unique feature that sets it apart from other varieties. The globular body may cluster over time, and its powdery surface helps protect the plant from intense sunlight. In summer, it blooms with striking yellow, funnel-shaped flowers, enhancing its appeal. This variety is admired for its elegant color palette and architectural form, making it a prized specimen in succulent collections.
