Product Information
Light: Most Rebutia species prefer bright, direct sunlight. However, some species can tolerate partial shade, especially during the hottest part of the day.
Temperature: Rebutia cacti are adapted to a wide range of temperatures, from freezing to scorching hot. However, they do not tolerate prolonged exposure to temperatures below freezing.
Watering: Rebutia cacti are adapted to arid environments and do not require frequent watering. In fact, overwatering is one of the most common causes of death in these plants. Water only when the soil has completely dried out, and be sure to use well-draining soil.
Soil: Rebutia cacti prefer well-draining, sandy soil with a slightly acidic pH. A mix of sand, perlite, and peat moss can provide the ideal conditions for these plants.
Fertilizer: Rebutia cacti do not require frequent fertilization. You can use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
