Rebutia steinbachii subv. aguilari best known as Sulcorebutia tiraquensis var. aguilarii is one of the innumerable local form of the very variable Rebutia steinbachii (= Sulcorebutia steinbachii) It is often referred as form of Sulcorebutia tiraquensis with attractive mahogany red spines, dark purple bodies and rings of light purple flowers in spring.
They are easy plant that grow large clumps and form beautiful specimens with time. During the summer it is best to keep the plants outside where the temperature can rise to over 30 C with no harm to the plant. It loves a very permeable, coarse mineral soil. From March onwards the plant will begin to grow and watering should be increased gradually until late May when the plant should be in full growth. Water regularly during the summer so long as the plant pot is allowed to drain and not sit in a tray of water. During hot weather you may need to water the plants more frequently so long as the plant is actively growing. From late September watering should be reduced to force the plant to go in to a state of semi dormancy, by October you should be back in to the winter watering regime .
