Indigofera amblyantha
I. Propagation by sowing
From mid-April to early May, use a hoe to open furrows 4 cm deep along or across the bed, with furrow spacing of 25 cm. Scatter the seeds into the furrows, with a seed spacing of about 3-4 cm. Cover with soil 2-3 cm thick, pat the covering soil firm, and the sowing rate is about 7 kg/667 sq m. Broadcasting can also be used, that is, evenly scatter the seeds over the bed surface, then cover all over with soil 2 cm thick.
II. Propagation by division
Dig out perennial plants from the mountain or nursery in early April, divide them into clumps of 3-5 individual seedlings, and plant them together in the nursery, with plant and row spacing of 15 x 15 (cm), tread the soil firm, and water thoroughly. Carry out routine topdressing, weeding, and pest control management.

Habitat: Bolivia - Cochabamba - La Paz, it also appears in the Andean high mountain range at 4000 m, extremely rare
Shape: flat, leaf-like
Flower: yellow
Habits: not tolerant of water, prone to rot; in its habitat it grows on slopes with good drainage, and in winter it can also overwinter at a temperature of -4 degrees. The growing medium generally uses 3 parts 2-3 mm coarse sand and gravel, and 1 part peat.

Chinese scientific name: HualanLatin name: Rebutia torquata F. Ritter & Buining 1977
Family and genus: Rebutia, Rebutia
Introduction: likes airy, breathable mineral soil, but avoid a substrate containing too much limestone. Too much water and fertilizer will cause leggy growth; it likes high-potassium fertilizer. Keep it dry; in winter it can tolerate -0 degrees. If there is no winter dormancy, it will not bloom in spring or will bloom very little. Full sun, with shading needed at noon in summer. Sowing temperature 21-27 degrees, sprouting in 7-14 days.
