Copiapoa Malletiana – A compact and slow-growing cactus, Copiapoa Malletiana is known for its rounded, dark green to greyish-blue body covered in white spines. Native to the coastal deserts of Chile, it produces beautiful yellow flowers in summer, adding a vibrant touch to your collection.
Care guide:
- Light: Full sun is ideal, though it can tolerate bright indirect light indoors.
- Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
- Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions but can tolerate cooler temperatures down to 5°C.
- Fertiliser: Use a cactus-specific fertiliser during the growing season.
- Maintenance: Minimal; occasional repotting in fresh soil is beneficial.
Perfect for collectors, this hardy species is easy to care for and a great choice for smaller spaces.
