Short Description:
Notocactus rudibuenekeri is a small, globular cactus known for its attractive, ribbed appearance and spiny texture. It typically grows as a solitary plant but can cluster over time. The cactus produces vibrant yellow flowers that emerge at the apex, providing a beautiful contrast against its green body and adding ornamental value to any collection.

Conservation Status:
Although it is not currently classified as endangered, Notocactus rudibuenekeri is subject to habitat disturbances. Our nursery-cultivated plants are grown sustainably, ensuring that natural populations remain undisturbed.

Care Instructions:
This species requires a well-draining soil mix suited for cacti and thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, and reduce watering further during the winter dormancy period. Fertilize with a cactus-specific or low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy development. Handle the cactus with care due to its spines, which can be sharp and potentially damaging.
