Copiapoa cinerea X hypogaea (green & purple) HW

Copiapoa cinerea X hypogaea (green & purple) is a hybrid cactus resulting from the cross of Copiapoa cinerea and Copiapoa hypogaea. This plant features the compact, globular shape of C. hypogaea combined with the thick, waxy coating of C. cinerea. The stems are typically green with shades of purple, especially under stress or high sunlight exposure. It forms small clusters of individual heads, each with prominent ribs and short, dark spines. During the summer, the cactus produces yellow, funnel-shaped flowers. It is adapted to arid conditions and thrives in well-draining soils with minimal organic matter.
