Copiapoa haseltoniana is endemic to the Atacama desert (Chile, Antofagasta) on a few hundred metres wide coastal plain at 15 km NE, inlands above Paposo (from Taltal to Caleta Colorado), which lies between the sea and the steeply rising coastal mountain. It grows in a scattered population in succulent vegetation such as Heliotropium, Pleocarpus and Opuntia. As is common in this coastal desert climate the early morning is foggy (the humidity of the sea furnish part of the water needed by this plants). By the middle of the morning however, the fog cover dissipate and sun breaking through the gaps warming the ground.
Copiapoas are the easiest cacti to grow, they require much less water than other cacti and are a summer grower species. Considering that haseltoniana comes from a habitat with an extremely arid climate, they are remarkably tolerant of pot culture, but susceptible to overwatering. They requires also an appropriate air circulation. It is a slow growing cactus kept for the beauty of its form that will make clumps given the best conditions.It likes very coarse mineral cactus mix soil, but can become too elongated if compost is too rich. Use pot with very good drainage, make extra holes if necessary. It requires light but regular waterings in summer, but let the soil mix dry between waterings, but DO NOT overwater, it must be strictly kept dry throughout the winter. Not highly tolerant of a great deal of frost. They need to be kept in a cool place during winter rest and are resistant to light frost if kept on the dry side prior to, and during, cold weather. Requires full sun or light shade, tends to bronze in strong light, which encourages flowering and heavy spine production. Light shadow my be useful in the hottest summer days.
Some copiapoas are listed as endangered due to poaching and habitat destruction. Please buy from local reputable, and responsible growers.

Great addition to my succulent and cactus collection. Completely satisfied with this purchase. Highly recommend this seller. Thank you.
Arrived in good condition. Fast shipping and well packaged.
Received after 3 days I ordered. They arrived in a box. All wrapped loosely by used newspapers. You can see the roots with some soil still attached. I planted them in pots the next day. I put them in my sun room. Hope they will grow healthy and see the flowers soon.
