Product Description

The Copiapoa cinerea is a remarkable cactus species native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. It is well-known for its grayish to blue-green epidermis, often covered with a powdery, waxy coating that helps protect it from the intense sun and arid conditions. This coating gives the plant a unique, almost ghostly appearance. The cactus typically has a globular to cylindrical shape and features prominent ribs adorned with clusters of short, black spines. In the growing season, it can produce small, bright yellow flowers that emerge from the top of the plant, adding a vibrant touch to its muted tones. The Copiapoa cinerea is highly prized by collectors for its distinctive look and resilience in extreme environments.
