Product Description

Copiapoa oliviana is a striking cactus native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. This plant forms dense clusters of globular to slightly cylindrical stems, each up to 15 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter. The stems are a unique olive-green color with a powdery coating, giving them a frosted appearance. Prominent ribs run vertically along the stems, adorned with clusters of short, stout, black spines. In summer, Copiapoa oliviana produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers at the apex of each stem, adding a splash of color to its rugged form. This cactus is highly valued for its unusual appearance and resilience.
