Copiapoa humilis MA029

Copiapoa humilis is a small, clumping cactus native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. It forms dense mats of globular to slightly elongated stems, each measuring 3-5 cm in diameter. The stems are grayish-green and have 10-16 ribs with woolly areoles from which short, black or dark brown spines emerge. Flowers are small, funnel-shaped, and bright yellow, blooming in the summer. This cactus is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in well-draining, rocky soils with minimal water.
