About Rebutia Albiflora
Rebutia Albiflora, of the Cactaceae family, originates in Bolivia and Argentina (Andes) and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. The most striking thing about this plant is small globose body that produces many offsets, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
Every specimen of Rebutia Albiflora from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. That’s why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
