Product Description
Copiapoa humilis, a unique cactus species, is indigenous to Chile's desert regions. Here's a detailed description and some cultivation tips:
Description
- Appearance: It's a small, globular cactus, usually solitary but can sometimes form clusters. The cacti are about 6 to 15 cm in diameter.
- Color: The body color ranges from dark green to blue-green.
- Spines: The spines are notable for their thick, strong structure, appearing in shades of yellow, brown, or black. Younger spines tend to be more yellowish.
- Flowers: The flowers are typically yellow or yellowish-white, blooming near the crown of the cactus.
- Fruit: After flowering, it produces small, round fruits.
Cultivation Tips
- Lighting: Prefers bright light but should be protected from the harshest midday sun. A spot with partial shade is ideal.
- Temperature: It thrives in warm conditions and requires protection from frost. Ideal temperature range is between 10-25°C (50-77°F).
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler months.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus mix or a blend of sand, perlite, and regular potting soil works well.
- Feeding: Use a diluted cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) once every four weeks.
- Repotting: Repot every two to three years or when the cactus outgrows its pot. Always handle with care to avoid damaging the spines.
- Propagation: Can be propagated from seeds, but it's a slow-growing plant, so patience is required.
Growing Copiapoa humilis can be a rewarding experience, especially for cactus enthusiasts. Its unique appearance and resilient nature make it a popular choice for cactus collections.
