Think this might be of the Rebutia family. . .

Post by volvogrrl »

I recently acquired a whole bunch of 'rescue' cacti. Some I have never seen before! I am going to inquire about this one first. perhaps a Rebutia? I know thats a huge family but that's all I got so far :)

Rebutia is not a family, it is a genus of Cactus family:)

The plant is Lobivia winteriana.

Also you may want to check the pups for unwanted visitors. The whitish fluff looks suspiciously like a mealy bug.
