Product Description

The Copiapoa columna-alba is a striking columnar cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. It features tall, upright stems that can reach up to 1.5 meters in height. The bluish-green to white coating on its stems protects it from the desert sun, giving it a silvery appearance. Its well-defined ribs are lined with short, dark spines that contrast with the plant’s smooth surface. In summer, it produces small, bright yellow flowers at the crown. The Copiapoa columna-alba is an iconic plant for desert landscapes, prized for its architectural form.
