Product Description

Copiapoa rarissima is a rare and distinctive cactus endemic to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. This small, globular plant forms dense clumps, with individual heads reaching up to 10 cm in diameter. Its pale green to bluish-green epidermis is covered with a powdery white coating, providing a striking contrast to its dark, curved spines. In summer, it produces delicate, funnel-shaped yellow flowers that emerge from the top of the plant, adding a touch of brightness to its otherwise muted tones. The combination of its unique color and spiny texture makes it a captivating addition to any cactus collection.
