I was under the impression that copiapoas were particularly finicky and difficult to care for, but this C. hypogaea seems quite content under my care.

@amake Beautiful! Too bad Copiapoas are so horrendously expensive - I'd love to add a few to my collection... :(

@tofu I had avoided copiapoas for the same reason but lucked into this one at a hobbyist event at the Ōfuna Flower Center. It was so cheap I thought the price tag was missing a zero 😅

The event is bi-annual. Their web presence is a mess but here’s a report about a past event:
