How to Grow and Care
Rebutia cacti can be propagated easily from offsets, which readily form in clusters around the base of the mother plant. These clump-forming species readily produce offsets which can be lifted and divided. Once your plant has gained a decent size and has sent out several offsets, carefully remove the offset and allow the cut to dry on a paper towel for a few days. Depending on the size of the cut area, a callous will form over the cut surface. Once the callous has formed, place the new plant in a pot with a potting soil mixture and keep in a warm place until new roots emerge... - Learn more at HOW TO GROW AND CARE REBUTIA
