Product Description

The Copiapoa cinerea is a striking cactus species native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. Its thick, globular body is covered in a blue-gray to white waxy coating, which protects it from the harsh desert sun. This coating gives the plant a silvery appearance, making it a standout in arid landscapes. Its ribs are lined with prominent spines, and during summer, it produces bright yellow flowers that emerge from the top of the plant. The Copiapoa cinerea is slow-growing and can form dense clusters over time, creating a dramatic desert display.
