Astrophytum Asterias Assorted

Meet Astrophytum asterias, the spineless, star-shaped cactus that’s more UFO than desert dweller. This slow-growing, button-like wonder hails from the arid regions of Texas and northeastern Mexico and is prized for its symmetrical ribbed body, unique white trichomes, and seasonal display of butter-yellow blooms with an orange throat.

Its near-perfect geometry and compact size make it a favorite among minimalist growers and advanced cactophiles alike. Despite its sculptural appearance, this species requires surprisingly little maintenance—provided you respect its need for sharp drainage and a strict no-cold-feet policy.
