Copiapoa serpentisulcata N20

Copiapoa serpentisulcata is a striking cactus species native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. This plant typically forms clusters of spherical to slightly elongated stems, each covered in dense, grayish-white wool. The stems feature pronounced ribs with deep, serpentine grooves, giving the cactus its name. Spines are dark, robust, and curved, emerging from large, prominent areoles. In summer, Copiapoa serpentisulcata produces yellow flowers with a delicate fragrance, adding a splash of color to its arid habitat. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal water, making it ideal for xeriscaping and rock gardens.
