• Occasionally produces bright yellow blooms with an orange center 🌼

Care Guidelines:

☀️ Light:
Enjoys bright, indirect light. Can handle filtered morning sunlight, but avoid intense afternoon rays.

💧 Watering:

• Water only when the soil is fully dry

• In summer: every 2–3 weeks

• In winter: once a month or less ❄️

• Ensure no water sits at the base or crown

🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives in 20–32°C. Keep dry and protected from frost or extreme humidity.

🌱 Soil:
Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix. Pot must have drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Astrophytum is slow-growing — don’t rush it! Its unique shape and rare flowers are worth the wait. Avoid frequent repotting.

Elegant, rare, and designed by nature with stunning precision — the Astrophytum asterias is a prized addition for collectors and lovers of extraordinary succulents.
