Product Description

The Copiapoa cinerea is a stunning, slow-growing cactus known for its distinctive silvery-gray to bluish body, which helps protect it from the harsh desert sun. This globular cactus features prominent ribs, often with dense clusters of spines that vary in color from dark brown to black. Over time, it forms clumps of individual stems, creating a striking sculptural appearance. In summer, it produces small, bright yellow flowers, adding a pop of color to its otherwise muted tones. Native to the Atacama Desert, it thrives in arid environments and is highly prized by collectors for its unique aesthetics.
