The Copiapoa humilis is a slow-growing, miniature cactus native to the arid coastal deserts of Chile. With its silvery-grey to olive-green globular body, short woolly areoles, and dark spines, it brings a rugged, otherworldly charm to any cactus collection. This species often grows in clusters and thrives in tough conditions, making it a resilient gem for collectors who love rare, desert-adapted plants with a unique aesthetic.

Care Instructions
Light: Prefers bright, direct light. Outdoors, give full sun. Indoors, place in the brightest possible window, ideally south-facing.
Water: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings—typically every 2–3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter.
Humidity: Thrives in low humidity. Avoid misting or excess moisture.
Temperature: Best kept between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Can tolerate cooler temps when dry but should be protected from frost.
💡 Pro Tip: Copiapoa love neglect and gritty soil. Pot in a well-draining cactus mix and avoid overpotting to prevent rot.
