Copiapoa Humilis
Plant Category:
Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
Copiapoa humilis is a small, slow-growing cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. Known for its compact, globular form, it features deeply ribbed, green stems with distinct white spines radiating from the areoles. This cactus is particularly prized for its unique appearance and resilience in harsh, arid environments. In late spring to early summer, Copiapoa humilis produces small, vibrant yellow flowers at the apex of its ribs, adding a pop of color to its otherwise spiny exterior. Perfect for collectors and gardeners looking to add a distinctive, low-maintenance cactus to their collections, Copiapoa humilis thrives in container gardens, rock gardens, or succulent arrangements.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to bright, indirect light. In full sun, its spines will become more pronounced, giving the cactus a more striking appearance.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering during the cooler months as the cactus is dormant and more susceptible to rot from overwatering.
- Soil: Requires well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below freezing.
- Propagation: Propagate by seeds or offsets. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining mix, and offsets can be gently separated and replanted.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or scale insects. Regular checks ensure plant health.
Toxicity:
Copiapoa humilis is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe and striking addition to homes and gardens.
