Copiapoa Andina v. Sector 2
The available seeds are 5 purebred Copiapoa Andina v. Sector 2 seeds.
Copiapoa andina v. Sector 2 is a fascinating and rare local form of Copiapoa andina, discovered in the rugged, fog-fed desert slopes of northern Chile. The designation "Sector 2" refers to a specific habitat zone where particular environmental conditions—strong coastal winds, mineral-rich soils, and dense morning fog—have shaped this population into a distinct and resilient form.
This variety typically exhibits compact, spherical to short-columnar shoots with a matte grey-green epidermis covered by a protective, waxy coating. The ribs are distinct and regularly defined, each bearing neat areoles with strong, dark spines that gradually fade to grey with age. The dense spination and muted coloration give the plant a rugged, almost primeval character, perfectly suited to its extreme habitat.
During its flowering period, Copiapoa andina v. Sector 2 produces delicate yellow flowers at the apex – a gentle and unexpected contrast to its armored body. Its slow growth, natural symmetry, and close association with the Chilean desert landscapes make it a valuable collector's item for enthusiasts of rare and locally specific Copiapoa.
