We're working with partners in Latin America to save highly threatened cacti!
This is the first in a series of mini-docs about #copiapoa, which are threatened by climate change, illegal off-roading and cactus poaching.

A medium size Copiapoa cinerea with many pronounced vertical ridges. It has distinctive black spines and dense yellowish wool on the crown.
This is a Copiapoa cinerea that was grafted onto a cactus rootstock. It's nearly 3" in diameter but likely took only 3 or 4 years to reach this size. If grown on their own roots, it might take around 10 years (and be 5x the price) 🌵

Hey, it's been awhile. I guess seasonal depression has been encroaching into fall for me this year. Kind of a bummer. Here's a #cactus.
#Copiapoa #hypogaea
First time #blooming for me.
A relatively #spineless cactus, this is one of my favorites. The flower looks like Hypericum - St. John's Wort.
A 5-10 year old Copiapoa Cinerea with light green color and black spines. It's round with curved ridges.
I spotted this flawless Copiapoa Cinerea recently at a cactus and succulent fair. They're rare, highly collectible and very overpriced. This 2" specimen was $350. I'll be looking for a seedling instead.

I can’t tell if this is just what they look like, or maybe I missed them at full bloom yesterday, or maybe they aren’t fully open yet? 🤔

Copiapoa hypogaea has also been pretty consistent with flowers since I got it 🌼

I went to the ISIJ Big Bazaar in Gotanda last weekend and picked up some nice stuff.
Copiapoa tenuissima (魚鱗玉). The dark skin is so striking against the white cotton. And look at all those pups!
Mammillaria herrerae (白鳥). A pretty common variety but I like […]

Copiapoa hypogaea decided to bless us with a double bloom 🌼🌼

La ciudadanía eligió a la Copiapoa como la especie chilena a secuenciar en el proyecto Genoma Nacional. El cactus será clave para estudiar adaptación al cambio climático.

Copiapoas are slow growers, but grafting changes the game. At just 2.5 months in, this one is already showing off its dark spines and fuzzy crown—something that would have taken years on its own roots. 🌵

I grafted another tiny Copiapoa seedling onto a larger Myrtillo cactus, while another is growing on a smaller rootstock. The question is: will the bigger root system speed up growth?

This graft felt extra special because it’s my first time grafting a seedling I grew from seed!

3 months in with my Copiapoa seedlings! Started with 11, now down to 7—lost a few along the way, but that’s part of the journey. One was grafted, so we’ll see how that one takes off! 🌵✨

🌱 Double the Grafts, Double the Hope
Two grafts, two chances for something amazing:
✨ A tiny Ariocarpus graft — fragile but full of potential
✨ A small Copiapoa graft — slow-growing, but worth the wait

Two months into cultivating Copiapoa, and I’m amazed at how much I’ve already learned about growing rare species. 🌵
