Product Description

Copiapoa griseoviolacea is a rare, slow-growing desert cactus native to northern Chile, renowned for its ghostly violet-gray body and sculptural, globular to slightly cylindrical form. Covered in a chalky bloom that protects against intense sunlight, its body features deep ribs lined with short, dark spines. Under stress, its epidermis shifts toward a haunting violet hue, giving the plant an almost surreal appearance. In summer, it produces lemon-yellow flowers from the apex, creating a vivid contrast with the dusky body.
