Love it Hob! My favorite cactus name of all: "Rebutia fiebrigii"

I love my Rebutias too Hob. I'm starting to gather more and more of them. Do your's get filtered light? They don't seem to like full sun here.

Beautiful plants, Hob. One dumb question: In addition to all shades of orange and the rare white one you pictured, what other colors do you have in your collection of Rebutias? Also, how hardy are they?

hi harald, if you have an hour or so to spare have a wander round gunnar's rebutia's (wish i could grow them like that)

gunnar's rebutia's

coming from high in the mountains they will take a little frost for short periods if kept dry. i might try leaving a few spares in the unheated greenhouse next winter to see how they do.
