Product Details
Highlights
Rebutia arenacea (previously Sulcorebutia) (Cárdenas): A tidy, miniature cactus from the mountain valleys of Bolivia. The stems have about 30 ribs of tubercles and "pectinate" spines that lie flat against the stem. The stems are nicely symmetrical and stay under 2.0" tall and wide. It blooms with a yellow to orange flower and can produce clusters of offsets.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Keep dry in winter.
