Product Description

The Copiapoa megarhiza var. echinata is a striking cactus native to the coastal deserts of Chile. It forms globular to slightly cylindrical stems, typically growing in dense clumps. Each stem is covered with tuberculate ribs that give it a warty texture, and it boasts short, dark brown spines that contrast against its blue-green epidermis. During blooming season, it produces bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers at the apex, adding a touch of vivid color to its otherwise rugged appearance. Its thick taproot allows it to thrive in arid conditions, drawing moisture deep from the soil.
