Copiapoa gigantea

Copiapoa gigantea is a globular, olive green colored plant, and from its body sprout several hexagonal shaped tubercles with spines that can vary from yellow to orange shades. The part where spines are thicker is the top, where reddish spots may also appear. Its body is covered with a waxy coating, which is important to protect this species from losing too much moisture. The Copiapoa gigantea is peculiar but at the same time rather simple in appearance, perfect for any type of decor style.
