For sale is an exceptional, well-rooted offset of Copiapoa krainziana sourced from Rudolf Schulz lineage. This unique specimen stands out significantly from standard collection pieces due to its highly desirable dark epidermis and unique spination.
The plant exhibits a stunning purplish-ash to near-black body color under good light. It features dense, smoky-toned spination that is noticeably softer and darker than typical varieties. Complete with a woolly crown, this slow-growing collector's piece offers premium aesthetics and excellent provenance.
Size: ~50mm body diameter (measured excluding spines).
Plant: You will receive the exact specimen.
Light: High, direct sunlight or strong greenhouse light is essential to maintain the intense dark purple/black skin stress coloration.
Substrate/Watering: Requires an extremely gritty, mineral-heavy, well-draining soil mix. Water only when completely dry, and keep dry throughout the winter months.
Care Instructions
Follow these detailed care instructions to keep your Elkhorn Fern thriving:
Mounting
Elkhorn ferns are epiphytic, meaning they naturally grow attached to trees. For best results:

- Use sphagnum moss around the roots
- Secure with fishing line or plant-safe wire until established
Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
