Cacti - Rebutia Heliosa

Rebutia heliosa – Miniature Cactus Marvel with Radiant Blooms

Small in stature but stunning in presence, Rebutia heliosa is a captivating miniature cactus native to the high-altitude landscapes of Bolivia. Renowned for its shimmering silvery spines and vibrant floral bursts, this compact succulent is a prized gem for collectors and succulent enthusiasts alike.

Why Rebutia heliosa Shines:

• Silvery Radiance: A dense cloak of fine, silvery-white spines creates a luminous, frosted glow that sparkles beautifully in sunlight

• Compact & Charming: Rounded stems measure just 1–2 inches across—perfect for windowsills, terrariums, or detailed succulent arrangements

• Show-Stopping Blooms: In spring and summer, it bursts into vivid orange, red, or pink funnel-shaped flowers, providing a stunning contrast to its silvery body

• Cold-Hardy: More tolerant than most cacti, it can survive brief freezes down to -10°C (14°F) with proper care

• Effortless Care: Thrives on minimal watering and neglect, ideal for beginners or those with busy lifestyles

Care Essentials:

• Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered shade; avoid harsh direct sun in hot climates

• Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings; overwatering is the biggest risk

• Temperature: Protect from prolonged frost; best kept indoors or sheltered during winter

Whether you’re expanding a curated cactus collection or looking for a unique, low-maintenance succulent with dazzling color, Rebutia heliosa offers a perfect blend of resilience and radiant beauty in a petite package.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
