Extra Info:
Sulcorebutia pasopayana is probably one of the most common sulcorebutias in collections. Their mostly dark red flowers with also red stamens and green stylus make them particularly attractive. Due to its strong tendency to offset it is very easy to propagate them. For many years, Lau387 and R593 were distributed under the name S. pulchra (or pulchera).
