Product Description

Copiapoa hornilloensis is a remarkable desert cactus species native to Chile. This Chilean Copiapoa exhibits a unique rounded form with dense clusters of tubercles and spines. Gardeners value its compact growth and subtle grey-green color, making it an excellent choice for xeriscape gardens. Its robust appearance reflects its adaptation to the harsh Hornillo desert environment.

The Copiapoa hornilloensis FR1149 is a prime example of the Copiapoa species, cherished for its resilience and distinctive morphology. The Hornillo desert cactus features thick, fleshy stems that conserve water efficiently. Its striking radial spines create a protective network around each stem. These traits help the plant thrive under intense sun and minimal rainfall, defining its survival strategy in the wild.

  • Dense, protective spines radiate from each areole
  • Succulent stems store water for drought resistance
  • Slow-growing with a sturdy, resilient structure
