Product Description

The Copiapoa dealbata is a captivating cactus species, native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. It is characterized by its globular form, often growing in large, dense clusters. Its distinctive white to gray waxy coating helps reflect the harsh desert sunlight, giving the plant a striking silvery appearance. The plant’s pronounced ribs are lined with sharp, dark spines, creating a beautiful contrast. In summer, it produces small, vibrant yellow flowers at its apex, standing out against the silvery body. The Copiapoa dealbata is a slow-growing, drought-tolerant species, highly valued by collectors.
