Copiapoa goldii ST3

Copiapoa goldii is a rare cactus species native to the arid coastal areas of northern Chile. It typically forms small clumps, with individual stems reaching up to 15 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. The stems are globular to cylindrical, displaying a bluish-green color with a waxy coating that helps reduce water loss. Each stem is adorned with 10-20 ribs and clusters of short, white to brownish spines. During summer, it produces small, yellow flowers that emerge from the stem tips. These flowers are funnel-shaped and can reach up to 2 cm in diameter. Copiapoa goldii thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal water.
