Product Description

The Copiapoa cinerea x atacamensis is a captivating hybrid cactus that combines the defining traits of its parent species. It features a robust, rounded to columnar stem, often with a bluish-gray hue, enhanced by subtle green undertones. Its prominent ribs are adorned with clusters of sharp, radial spines that can vary in color from yellowish to dark brown. This hybrid cactus produces small, cup-shaped flowers in vibrant yellow, adding a bright contrast to its muted, desert-toned body. Adapted to the arid landscapes of northern Chile, it is drought-tolerant and thrives in extreme conditions.
