Sulcorebutia steinbachii f. variegated

The variegated shape of this cactus presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each specimen absolutely unique and, For this reason, very sought after by collectors. It is a cactaceae that can be very varied both for the length of the spines and for the shape of the body because of its vast geographic area of origin and the consequent adaptation to the conditions of the specific place. The colours of the spines may be white, yellow or reddish-black, usually thin. In spring S. steinbachii will amaze you with its bright flowers, which take on a very wide colouration, from yellow to magenta and, sometimes, even particular shades that go from yellowish to cherry tones!
