Growing in coastal areas of South America, where it grows in areas where very little else grows. It’s a very drought tolerant species. Despite the lack of rain where it lives, the extreme aridity is attenuated by the frequent, often dense, coastal fogs. The fog tends to concentrate in the form of a cloud band at an estimated height of 500 to 850 m. It shows a recurrent pattern; usually it is overcast in the early mornings, the clouds dissipating during the late morning & returning during the late afternoons. Even though the temperatures are moderate in the summer as well, the light on sunny days is so bright & burning that most Copiapoas are covered by a white waxy surface which protects the plants from the sun & reduces the evaporation. The wax gives the plants a characteristic, whitewashed look. The waxy coating is only created if the plants are exposed to ultraviolet rays & will only be created sporadically under glass in a greenhouse. ~Shipping~ Flat Rate; Purchase multiple orders, pay one shipping.
