Astrophytum are native to Southern Texas and Mexico, growing in regions that experience hot, humid summers and short, dry winters. These are commonly called “Star Cactus” due to th eir star-shaped structure when viewed from above. While some have spines, others have unique white flecking (an adaptation to protect them from the sun). When provided enough sunlight and proper care, they produce beautiful yellow flowers. GENERAL CARE Like most cacti, they are slow growing and prefer bright, direct sunlight (6+ hours daily) and watering only when soil is completely dry. Pot in a well-draining cactus/succulent soil mix. Show more
