Astrophytum stand out for star-like shapes, geometric ribs and varied surfaces, with bright flowers adding contrast to these cacti.
Astrophytum are distinguished by their geometric ribs and forms that can resemble stars when viewed from above. Some plants have pale speckles, smoother surfaces or prominent spines, while bright flowers add contrast during growth.
The range of species and cultivars offers varied textures for a collection. To preserve their surface, avoid unnecessary handling and prolonged dampness, and use very free-draining compost. Explore the plants in our Ariocarpus category too.
