Copiapoa desertorum 21M

Copiapoa desertorum is a small, globular cactus native to the arid regions of northern Chile. It features a dark green, almost spherical body with pronounced ribs lined with areoles from which spines emerge. These spines are usually yellow to brown, radiating outward and offering some protection. The cactus blooms sporadically with bright yellow flowers that contrast sharply with its darker body. Typically found in clusters, Copiapoa desertorum thrives in rocky soils and is highly adapted to survive with minimal water.
