Copiapoa cinerea v. Albispina is a remarkable and highly prized variety of Copiapoa cinerea, native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. Known for its elegant, silvery-grey to pale-white body, this cactus stands out due to its dense, white spines (albispina meaning “white-spined”), which give it a soft, almost frosted appearance.
 
The plant typically grows as a solitary, globular to short-columnar stem, with pronounced ribs lined with evenly spaced areoles. The spines provide both protection from the harsh desert sun and a striking aesthetic contrast against the pale epidermis. Over time, it may slowly form small clusters, creating a sculptural, almost architectural effect.
 
During the flowering season, delicate yellow flowers emerge from the crown, offering a bright contrast to the muted tones of the plant. Adapted to extreme drought and strong coastal fogs, Copiapoa cinerea v. Albispina thrives in well-draining soil with minimal water and ample sunlight. Its rarity, refined color palette, and graceful form make it a coveted specimen for collectors and enthusiasts of Chilean desert cacti.
