Copiapoa desertorum MPS6

Copiapoa desertorum is a species of cactus native to the arid coastal deserts of northern Chile. It typically forms small, globular clusters that can spread widely. Individual plants grow up to 15 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter, featuring a deep green to bluish-green body. The surface is covered in a fine, whitish wool that helps to reflect intense sunlight and conserve moisture. Spines are long, thin, and spread out, ranging in color from light gray to brown. Copiapoa desertorum blooms with bright yellow flowers that are quite large in comparison to the body of the cactus.
