Copiapoa bridgesii is a soft-bodied, cylindrical, and extremely spiky cactus. This variety is frequently listed as a synonym of Copiapoa echinoides as it only appears occasionally, but it is uncertain how it is related to C. echinoides.
C. bridgesii thrives in open, fully exposed, and highly stony coastal places in a harsh environment. They can withstand droughts quite well and requires normal Copiapoa care.
