Copiapoa cinerea X humilis R15

Copiapoa cinerea x humilis is a hybrid cactus combining traits from Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa humilis, both native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. This plant typically forms small, clumping clusters with globular to slightly cylindrical stems that are bluish-grey with a powdery coating. The stems can grow up to 6 cm in diameter, featuring prominent ribs with areoles bearing short, dark spines. In summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers that provide a bright contrast to the subdued tones of the stems. This hybrid is prized for its unique appearance, compact size, and adaptability to arid environments.
