Copiapoa fiedleriana AU1

Copiapoa fiedleriana is a small, solitary cactus species native to the coastal desert regions of northern Chile. It grows in a globular to short columnar form, reaching up to 12 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter. The skin is a pale grayish-green, covered with a fine white wool that provides protection from the intense desert sun. The spines are relatively short, straight, and white to yellowish in color. In the summer, Copiapoa fiedleriana blooms with small, bright yellow flowers that emerge from the top of the plant, adding a vibrant touch to its otherwise muted appearance.
