Can't really say I've grown this plant, but I am familiar with the wholesale variety. It is a pinkish-purpleish globular clumping cactus, whose tubercules bear fairly harmless dark spines. If left to etiolate, new growth would be green and conical.
Like all rebutias, it should be grown in full mineral soil. Otherwise sold grafted on hylocereus stock. Probably lots of sun as well to keep the desired visage.
