Product Description

The Copiapoa columna-alba GRAFTED is an impressive columnar cactus species known for its striking white to grayish coating, which gives the plant its name. This grafted form enhances the plant’s growth and health. It features a tall, cylindrical shape with multiple prominent ribs lined with clusters of short, black spines. The epidermis is often covered with a waxy, white bloom that helps protect it from intense sunlight and arid conditions, characteristic of its native habitat in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The Copiapoa columna-alba can produce small, bright yellow flowers that bloom near the top, adding a vibrant touch to its otherwise muted color palette. This cactus is highly prized by collectors for its unique, ghostly appearance and columnar structure.
