Product Description

Copiapoa humilis is a small, globular cactus endemic to the coastal areas of northern Chile, particularly thriving in desert conditions. This species typically forms clusters, with individual stems reaching up to 10 cm in diameter. Its body is dark green, sometimes appearing nearly black, and it is densely covered in white wool and yellow to brown spines that are about 1-2 cm long. Copiapoa humilis blooms with bright yellow flowers from the crown of the plant during the spring and summer, providing a striking contrast to its darker, woolly appearance
