Copiapoa Cinerea Subsp. Krainziana

Copiapoa cinerea subsp. krainziana is a rare and striking cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. This succulent plant is known for its distinctive white to pale blue spines and its ability to thrive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. It grows in rocky soils and is often found in coastal areas where it benefits from the coastal fog. Due to its limited distribution and vulnerability to habitat loss, it is considered a threatened species. This plant is a fascinating example of botanical adaptation and resilience in extreme conditions.
