Copiapoa tenuissima FR539

The Copiapoa tenuissima FR539 is an intriguing cactus species native to the arid coastal regions of northern Chile. This plant features small, globular to slightly cylindrical stems that are a vibrant green to bluish-green, often forming dense clusters. The ribs are well-defined with prominent tubercles. The spines are short, thin, and can range in color from yellow to brown, creating a striking contrast against the green stems. In summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers that emerge from the top of the stems, adding a vibrant splash of color to its rugged appearance.
