Cacti - Rebutia Heliosa

Discover the captivating beauty of Rebutia heliosa, a miniature cactus that's a true gem for any succulent enthusiast. This charming cactus, native to the high mountains of Bolivia, is prized for its unique appearance, vibrant blooms, and surprisingly hardy nature.  

Features:

• Silvery Spines: The most distinctive feature of Rebutia heliosa is its dense covering of silvery-white spines. These spines create a beautiful, almost glowing effect, especially when the plant is bathed in sunlight.

• Compact Growth:This cactus forms small, spherical stems that typically reach a diameter of 1-2 inches. Its compact size makes it ideal for windowsills, terrariums, or adding a touch of elegance to mixed succulent arrangements.

• Vibrant Blooms: In the spring and summer, Rebutia heliosa produces a profusion of large, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of orange, red, and pink. These vibrant blooms create a stunning contrast against the silvery spines and add a cheerful touch to any space.

• Cold Hardy:Unlike many cacti, Rebutia heliosa is surprisingly cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures down to -10°C (14°F) for short periods. This makes it a great choice for those in cooler climates who want to enjoy the beauty of cacti.

• Easy Care:This resilient cactus thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering, making it perfect for beginners or those with busy lifestyles.  

Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light or partial shade.

• Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

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.
