Product Description

Copiapoa cinerea x desertum is a hybrid cactus resulting from the crossbreeding of Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa desertum. This cactus typically exhibits a solitary growth habit but can form small clumps over time. The stems are globular to short cylindrical, reaching up to 20 cm in diameter, and are covered in a bluish-gray to silvery-white coating that gives the plant a distinctive frosted appearance. It has pronounced ribs adorned with areoles bearing short, black spines. In summer, it produces bright yellow flowers that contrast vividly with its muted stem colors.
