Description: It is a small cactus, mostly offsetting
Stem: Tiny, depressed-spherical to oblong 2-3 cm wide, 1,5-2,5 cm tall (but usually more in cultivation)
Ribs: 10 to 12, low, often spiralled and tubercled.
Roots: Thick and long tap-root.

Flowers: From the side at the base of the plant, short, erect, funnel-shaped, in shades of orange to red. Outer tepals oblong, apiculate; inner tepals rounded.
Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Rebutia steinmannii group
- Rebutia christinae Rausch: has flowers in shades of intensive orange. Distribution: Tarija, Bolivia.
- Rebutia huarinensis Kníže: has funnel-shaped, carmine red flowers. Outer tepals oblong, apiculate; inner tepals rounded. Distribution: Huari, Bolivia.
- Rebutia poecilantha F.Ritter: has flowers up to 40 mm long and wide crimson to purple, edged orange red. Distribution: North of Camargo, Chuquisaca, Bolivia.
- Rebutia steinmannii (Solms) Britton & Rose
- Rebutia steinmannii var. costata (Werderm.) Pilbeam: has 8 or 9 straight ribs (a low count for this species). Flowers orange-red, edged carmine. Distribution: Bolivia (La Paz, Potosi and Tarija) and Argentina (Jujuy).
Cultivation and Propagation: Full sun to light shade, Water regularly in summer but do not overwater (the root system is rot prone) Keep dry in winter Hardy to -4°C.
It is better that they are repotted regularly. Repotting will increase the number and size of stems and will increase the number of flowers produced. Repot yearly until reaching about 100mm in size, then every two or three years will suffice. Repotting is best done at the end of winter but can be done at other times. Do not water for a couple of weeks after repotting to reduce risk of root rot via broken roots.
Propagation: Offsets, seeds
