Product Description

Copiapoa cinerea x atacamensis is a captivating hybrid cactus that combines the unique features of Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa atacamensis.

Its skin is a striking grayish-green to blue-gray, often covered with a powdery, waxy coating that gives it a silvery appearance. The cactus has well-defined ribs with white, woolly areoles and short, dark spines. In summer, it produces small, yellow, funnel-shaped flowers.
