Copiapoa cinerea X hypogaea D9

Copiapoa cinerea x hypogaea is a hybrid cactus combining traits from Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa hypogaea, both native to the coastal deserts of Chile. This plant typically forms a solitary or clumping growth habit with globular to slightly elongated, blue-grey stems covered in a waxy coating. The stems can reach up to 10 cm in diameter and may have prominent ribs with areoles bearing short, dark spines. During the summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers. This hybrid is highly prized for its striking appearance and resilience in dry, arid environments.
