Copiapoa tenuissima SAB2

Copiapoa tenuissima is a small, slow-growing cactus native to the coastal desert regions of northern Chile. It forms clusters of globular to short cylindrical stems, each typically about 4-8 cm in diameter. The stems are covered in numerous ribs with white, woolly areoles from which stiff, yellowish spines emerge. Flowers are small, funnel-shaped, and yellow, appearing in summer. This cactus thrives in arid conditions and is known for its drought tolerance and ability to grow in poor, rocky soils.
