Product Description

The Copiapoa atacamensis X cinerea with brown spines is a captivating hybrid cactus native to the Atacama Desert in Chile. This plant features spherical to slightly cylindrical stems that are a striking bluish-gray, often forming dense clusters. The ribs are well-defined with prominent tubercles. The spines are short, stout, and brown, providing a dramatic contrast against the bluish-gray stems. In summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers that emerge from the crown of the stems, adding a vibrant splash of color to its rugged appearance.
