Product Description

Copiapoa rupestris is a small to medium-sized cactus native to the coastal regions of the Atacama Desert in Chile. It typically forms clumps of spherical to short cylindrical stems with a blue-green to greyish epidermis. The stems have well-defined ribs and areoles, which bear clusters of short, black to dark brown spines. In summer, this cactus produces yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that emerge from the top of the stems. The plant is well-adapted to arid environments, thriving in rocky, well-drained soils and intense sunlight.
