Also known as the Bishop’s Cap cactus

Origin:
Native to the highlands of northeastern and central Mexico, Astrophytum myriostigma is a spineless, star-shaped cactus prized for its sculptural symmetry and silvery coating. This plant adds a quiet elegance to any collection and can even surprise you with soft yellow blooms when it’s happy. Though the flower buds do bite!

Growing Conditions:
This cactus thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil. It has been grown under full Arizona sun at Arid Adaptations, making it more resilient than greenhouse-grown plants. Its low-maintenance nature makes it a great fit for both new and seasoned growers.
