Product Description

Copiapoa cinerea x griseoviolacea is a distinctive and slow-growing hybrid cactus that combines the unique characteristics of Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa griseoviolacea. This cactus typically features a globular to slightly columnar body, measuring 10-20 cm in height and 5-10 cm in diameter. Its skin is a striking grayish-green to blue-gray, often with a powdery, waxy coating that provides 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. This hybrid is highly valued for its unique coloration, sculptural form, and ease of care.
