Rebutia heliosa - CROWN CACTUS
Rebutia is a genus of small, easy-to-grow cactus plants that are beloved by cactus enthusiasts for their stunning blooms and compact, clumping growth habit. They produce vibrant flowers that emerge from the sides of the plant, often in shades of red, orange, pink, or yellow. Despite the size of the cactus, the flowers are impressively large, making them a popular choice for adding bursts of color to small spaces.
