Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible Copiapoa dealbata featuring pristine collection locality tracking. This specimen is seed-grown on its own roots and displays excellent genetics—featuring a tight, chunkily ribbed purple-green body heavily armored by dense, rigid jet-black spines.
What makes this particular plant stand out is its authenticated pedigree: it comes with full collection data under the field number JN 2360, originally collected by Jan Novák at Los Pozos - playa, Atacama, Chile.
Size: ~42mm in diameter (measured across the body tissue, excluding spines). Shown established in a square starter pot.
Shipped Fully Potted: Unlike most Copiapoa listings, this plant will be safely packed and shipped fully potted in its current substrate. Its root system remains completely undisturbed, ensuring zero growth interruption and making it instantly ready to charge ahead into the Spring and Summer growing season.
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:
- Mount on wood, cork, or similar materials
- 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
