Product Description

The Copiapoa solaris is a striking cactus species known for its robust, globular to cylindrical shape. This cactus features a grayish-green to dark green epidermis, often covered with a protective layer of waxy bloom. The plant is distinguished by its ribs lined with clusters of short, dark spines. Native to the Atacama Desert in Chile, Copiapoa solaris is adapted to harsh, arid conditions and has a slow growth rate. It occasionally produces small, bright yellow flowers that emerge from the top, adding a splash of color to its otherwise muted tones. This species is highly prized by collectors for its unique appearance and resilience.
