Rebutia perplexa

Rebutia perplexa (Donald): A lovely little cactus from Bolivia that is prolific in both offsets and blooms! This easy grower has short, green stems that grow in dense clusters. Each stem has 16-18 ribs of tubercles and golden spines. It blooms early and often with hot pink flowers perched on floral tubes. 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.
