Copiapoa cinerea X tenuissima BF12

Copiapoa cinerea x tenuissima is a hybrid cactus resulting from the cross between Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa tenuissima, both native to the coastal deserts of northern Chile. This hybrid typically forms dense clumps of globular to slightly cylindrical stems, which are bluish-grey with a powdery coating. The stems can grow up to 8 cm in diameter, featuring pronounced ribs with areoles that bear short, dark spines. In summer, it produces small, funnel-shaped yellow flowers. This cactus is highly valued for its striking appearance, resilience in arid environments, and compact growth habit.
