Copiapoa cinerea X andina C5

Copiapoa cinerea X andina is a hybrid cactus that combines characteristics from both Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa andina. This hybrid typically grows in a globular to slightly columnar form, reaching up to 25 cm in height and 15 cm in diameter. The skin is a striking grayish-blue to dark green, often covered with a dense layer of white wool that helps protect it from the intense desert sun. The spines are short, sturdy, and range from white to brown, evenly spaced around the areoles. In summer, this hybrid blooms with bright yellow flowers, adding a vibrant contrast to its subdued body tones.
