Product Description

Copiapoa hypogaea cv. Lizard Skin is a distinctive cultivar of Copiapoa hypogaea, known for its unique, textured epidermis resembling lizard skin. This small, globular cactus forms clusters of individual stems, each typically reaching up to 5 cm in diameter. The skin is a dark green to brownish-green, covered in a rough, warty texture. Areoles are small and woolly, with minimal or no spines. During the summer, it produces small, yellow, funnel-shaped flowers near the stem apex. This cactus is well-suited to arid environments, requiring well-draining soils and minimal water.
