Product Description

The hybrid Copiapoa krainziana X Copiapoa atacamensis combines the distinct characteristics of two rugged Chilean species. It has a globular to short-columnar body with a matte green hue and pronounced ribs. The areoles along the ribs are lined with thick, radial spines that range from pale yellow to reddish-brown, creating a striking pattern. A natural waxy coating protects it from intense sunlight and drought. In summer, it produces bright yellow flowers, adding vibrancy to its hardy, desert-adapted appearance. This hybrid is ideal for arid collections and thrives in challenging conditions.
