Rebutia fabrisii

A small clustering Rebutia (often placed in Aylostera) from the dry Andean slopes of north-western Argentina. Like its relatives it wants bright light, a warm wet summer and a cold, completely dry winter to flower well.

Where it grows wild

Rocky and grassy mountain slopes in the eastern Andean foothills, often tucked among stones or grass tufts that give slight shade. Details are generalised from the genus and the few measured sites.

The few records lack elevations, but the climate sites sit at about 2,000–2,400 m; the genus here usually grows between 1,500 and 3,000 m.
