Rebutia cv. sunrise is a popular variety obtained by hybridization, specifically between Rebutia heliosa and Rebutia pulvinosa ssp. albiflora (syn: Aylostera albiflora). This cross resulted in a plant more vigorous than their parents, with stem tightly covered by appressed spines reminding of R. heliosa and lovely fresh pinky white flowers in masse that clearly are a feature inherited from R. pulvinosa ssp. albiflora. This is a really nice cultivar which is just stunning each year, a must for any collection.
Growth Rate
It is a relatively rapidly growing and easily flowering species that will make large clumps given the best conditions.
Flowering
Funnel shaped ca. 3 cm in diameter often larger than the stems. Petals pink outside, pale yellow-orange inside
Water and Feeding/Fertilizer
Needs moderate to copious waterings in summer, but do not overwater (Rot prone), keep dry in winter at a minimum temperature of 0°C. Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer.
Soil
It likes very porous standard cactus mix soil. Prefer a neutral or low pH compost, avoid substrata rich in limestone.
Hardiness
Reputedly resistant to frost if kept on the dry side prior to, and during, cold weather (hardy to -4 C ° C, or less for short periods).
Light
The plant tolerates bright situations but enjoys filtered sunlight or afternoon shade, inside it needs bright light, and some direct sun.
Propagation
Rebutia cv. sunrise is a summer grower plant that is easy to cultivate.
