Rebutia canigueralii is a slow growing clustering cactus that may forms clumps of many heads. Blooms average 3/4" to 1"+ in diameter. Although the individual blooms are fairly small Rebutia canigueralii can have several blooms on each stem, and if grown into a large mound or cluster Rebutia canigueralii will get large mass blooms that can have dozens of blooms opening all at the same time. Rebutia canigueralii blooms throughout the warm season but blooms best in spring. Individual stem growth is light green with blackish areoles, growth is small averaging 1" to 1-1/4" in diameter on average for each stem. Apex is slightly indented. A single plant can quickly produce multiple pups or offsets creating a large mound or cluster in a relatively short period of time. Large mounds can reach 4 to 6" above the soil line.
How to Grow and Care
Light: Rebutias thrive in bright light and range of conditions. Many species can be grown in partial shade to full sun. However, as these are mountain species, they do not appreciate high temperatures, which should be avoided.
Water: Throughout the growing season (spring and summer) let the potting soil almost completely dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly. In winter, cut back watering.
Soil: A rich, fast-draining cactus mix is ideal.
Fertilizer: During the growing season, fertilize with a cacti fertilizer mix. Suspend feeding during the dormant winter period.
Origin: Rebutia canigueralii native to Bolivia.
Propagation
Rebutia cacti can be propagated easily from offsets, which readily in clusters around the base of the mother plant. 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. Once the plant is established, repot it into a regular container.
