4-6cm Copiapoa krainziana

Copiapoa krainziana (Silver Beard Cactus) is a mesmerizing and rare cactus native to the arid coastal hills of Chile. Its most iconic feature is the spectacular long, white hair-like spines that cascade from its crown, resembling a flowing silver beard or a head of wild white hair. These dense, soft-looking spines almost completely obscure the plant's underlying blue-green to gray-green stem, creating a striking and otherworldly appearance.
