Rebutia fiebrigii var. albipilosa - White-haired Crown Cactus [large] [exclusive]

Highlights

White-haired Crown Cactus (Rebutia fiebrigii, formerly R. albipilosa) (Britton & Rose): A small, globose cactus from Bolivia. The glossy green stems are covered in tubercles that sprout lots of bristly spines. It blooms freely with spectacular, orange flowers that develop into small, purple fruit. The stems tend to stay under 3.0" wide, but can eventually offset and cluster. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

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.
