Product Description

Copiapoa humilis X serpentisulcata is a hybrid cactus that combines traits from both Copiapoa humilis and Copiapoa serpentisulcata. This hybrid typically grows in a small, globular to slightly elongated form, reaching up to 15 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter. The skin is dark green, often featuring deep, snake-like grooves that give it a textured appearance. The spines are sparse, short, and range from yellowish to brown, harmonizing with the dark body. During the summer, this hybrid blooms with bright yellow flowers, which stand out vividly against its darker, grooved surface.

  • Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (20-30°C); can tolerate mild frost but should be protected from prolonged cold.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, diluted cactus fertilizer during the growing season.
