REBUTIA. ‘‘Pigmy Cactus” are tiny South American 
cacti noted for their profusion of brilliantly colored 
flowers, ranging from yellow to orange and red. One 
is violet or orchid in color. They like part shade, 
reasonable amount of moisture during the summer, but 
keep them cool and drier during the winter months. 
Suitable for tiny pots or bowls since they seldom grow 
more than one or two inches in diameter after which 
they usually form small clusters. The rarer and more 
difficult kinds are offered as grafted plants, the stocks 
of which need more root space than those on their 
own roots.

SELENICEREUS. The name means “Moon Cereus,‘ 
are slender twining cacti which grow to considerable 
length. They flower at night and have the largest 
flowers of all cacti, some actually being fourteen inches 
across. In southern frostless locations they may be 
planted at the base of trees and will often grow to the 
tops. Indoors it is best to train the branches in and out 
of wooden standards. Give them a rich humus soil, 
fertilize and water freely during the growing season 
and the rapid growth will surprise you.

more than four inches in diameter, thus being suitable 
for small pots indefinitely. Fine cultivated specimens 
mostly flowering size.
