Product Description

Copiapoa cinerea × atacamensis is a hybrid cactus combining traits from both Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa atacamensis. It typically has a globular to short columnar shape, with a greyish to greenish epidermis that provides some protection from the harsh desert sun. The stems can grow up to 15 cm in diameter and form clumps over time. The areoles are woolly, and the spines range from yellow to brown. During summer, it produces yellow, funnel-shaped flowers near the stem apex. This hybrid is adapted to arid conditions and thrives in well-draining, rocky soils.
