Product Description

Copiapoa hornilloensis is a captivating cactus distinguished by its globular to slightly cylindrical shape and its grayish-green epidermis. This cactus features pronounced ribs adorned with woolly areoles, from which stout, curved spines emerge, typically yellow to brown in color. During the summer, it produces yellow flowers that contrast beautifully with its body. Native to the coastal areas of the Atacama Desert in Chile, Copiapoa hornilloensis is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in arid environments, making it a perfect choice for cactus enthusiasts and rock gardens.
