Rebutias 2016

[Smel]

Hi Sylvia,
Your Rebutias are really smashing, mine are only just beginning to show a few buds, but they have been in a cold greenhouse all Winter, and you are a bit closer to the Sun then us. I like rebutias as I only have a small 6x7 greenhouse and with most things in small pots I can get a few in there!!

Show us more?
Regards

Mel.

Wow! From what you said at the start I wasn't expecting much but then I scrolled down...! What a fabulous sight!

Nice to see some good size specimens in there, and some Sulco's too, mine are flowering too at the moment but nothing like that, great to see

[Sylvia]

Thank you everyone for your kind remarks. I do love my Rebutias and Sulcos.

Well in advance of South London although I noticed last night that a few of the pygmeas had opened flowers yesterday. Maybe I should start watering earlier but the weather has seemed against it until a couple of weeks ago.

Wow, what a stunning display Sylvia, thankyou for sharing . More rebutias going on my wish list! Lovely to see such wonderful colours and all happily blooming together.

Superb! I need some Rebutia in my greenhouse!

Great plants, Sylvia. Now I know why despite being short of space, I resist any temptation to reduce my Rebutia/Sulcorebutia plants, which are a bit behind yours, and now only just starting to give what they do best - flower.

Once again Sylvia, I must congratulate you on these lovely mature plants, but what is the secret of keeping the dreaded Red Spider away ? Thanks

[Sylvia]

Hi Eric - I do spray them on a regular basis - one has to be very vigilent I find.

Thanks Sylvia, may I ask what spray you use. I love Rebs. Sulcos, Lobivias etc, but the problem with red spider is blunting my enthusiasm a bit. Would you mind sharing your RS prevention program please. Thanks
