Copiapoa - the hipster cactus collector's favourite genus (along with lophophora and ariocarpus). But how does a relatively new collector acquire mature specimens? One of the best ways is to attend auctions of cactus collections.
I recently visited one where the majority of the lots were copiapoa species. But with a budget of just £100, could I actually come away with anything at all?
