Description

This cactus is globular, fleshy, and perennial, then columnar up to Шаблон:Convert tall, Шаблон:Convert in diameter, with 30 ribs. Typical of this species, and characteristic, is the production of a white-colored waxy cuticle, for which the plants in its habitat are decidedly white-grey in color, hence the specific epithet. The light coloration is a protection against desiccation. In culture, the epidermis is often greenish. Its thorns can assume different colors, depending on the populations, however Copiapoa cinerea is generally black or dark brown. Only old plants offset from the base.

Flowers are yellow, with a diameter of Шаблон:Convert, at the top of the plants.The fruit ripens between wools, and is only visible when ripening has already occurred.[1]

Шаблон:Unreferenced section

Copiapoa cinerea is slow growing and hard to keep, because of the risk of rotting. Grafting is a solution. It rarely flowers in cultivation. Before all, it needs well drained soils. Sunny place, but protection against excessive sun in summer. In summer, it needs light and regular watering, but let the soil dry between two waterings. In winter, keep warm (no less than 8 °C) and absolutely dry.
