Product Description

Copiapoa haseltoniana is a slow-growing cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. It forms clumps of spherical to short-cylindrical stems, each 10-20 cm in diameter, covered with a dense, white, woolly coating. The spines are short, robust, and often black or dark brown. In summer, it produces bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that are about 3-4 cm in diameter. The fruit is small, red, and contains numerous tiny seeds. This species thrives in arid, rocky environments and is well adapted to drought conditions.
