How to fertilize Uhlig's Copiapoa
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Uhlig's Copiapoa after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My grocery store "Local Grown" (in Lehi, Utah) Copiapoa (Montana?) in bloom. Ps it's under a grow light with about 0 hours direct sun. pps that whole rack could use some Feng shui.

#succulentsquad Found where I buy my food. Copiapoa species to match the other one I found two years ago. FB forums said it could be Copiapoa mollicula, but who knows. The more I learn, the more I confuse myself.

My Copiapoa Haseltonianas are plumping up and hitting a bit of a growth spurt. I’ll have to repot them by the end of summer.
