Xerophyte

Description

Some of the most intriguing Copiapoa cultivars are the result of careful (or casual) cross-breeding, and possess unique and attractive characteristics. That is why hybrid seeds are easy to obtain as most of the species are easy to cross, and their seeds have a high germination capacity that lasts for 2 years.Multi hybrids generally display an exclusive combination of distinctive traits derived from a line of complex breeding which incorporates many different species and or hybrids. So rather than taking after one parent or another, it can resembles many of the plants in which it was bred from.Seedlings of hybrid (and multihybrid) Copiaoa show frequently non-typical colouring and start getting red or yellow spots on the stem.
