Product Description

Copiapoa griseoviolacea is a striking cactus species native to the coastal regions of northern Chile. It forms clusters of globular to slightly cylindrical stems that are typically bluish-gray to violet in color, with a waxy coating. The stems, ranging from 4-10 cm in diameter, feature pronounced tubercles and are adorned with short, stout spines that are yellowish to dark brown. When grafted onto a more vigorous rootstock, this cactus exhibits improved growth and resilience. It blooms in the summer, producing small, yellow flowers at the crown of the stems.
