The birthplace of Rebucius is Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.
Sulcorebutia rauschii f. violacidermis is a rare species of cactus.
An adult plant is not more than 5 cm. in diameter.
I really like its black spines, which resemble wood lice.
The good news is that these thorns do not prick at all.
In Sulcorebutia rauschii f. violacidermis very beautiful large purple-pink flowers.
Flowering begins in the second year of life and under good conditions can bloom throughout the year.
Loves bright sunlight all year round.
For flowering Sulcorebutia rauschii f. violacidermis during the resting period the desired temperature is + 8-10 ºC.
To get children, watering in the winter needs to be almost stopped.
It is necessary to gradually switch from summer to winter watering regime.
Rebutia do not need to be fertilized at all, unlike other cacti.
I don’t fertilize my cacti at all, and they bloom and don’t "complain" :-)
