 PLANT:

  • Astrophytum asterias 'Superkabuto' is a unique and prized cultivar of the species Astrophytum asterias, renowned for its striking star-shaped form and beautiful mottled white spots across its green surface. The "Superkabuto" variety is especially sought after by collectors due to its dense, snow-like patterns on the body, which make it one of the most visually appealing succulents. Native to Mexico, this cactus grows slowly and forms a flattened, globular shape with five to eight prominent ribs. In the wild, it produces yellow flowers, but in cultivation, it can thrive in a variety of environments with proper care. Its rarity and exquisite appearance make it a must-have for any cactus enthusiast or collector.
  • Water Needs:
    Moderate; water thoroughly during the growing season (spring to autumn), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.
  • Light Requirement:
    Bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be shielded from harsh afternoon sunlight to prevent scorching.
  • Maintenance:
    Low; requires well-draining soil, ideally a cactus mix. Avoid overwatering, as it is sensitive to root rot. Allow the plant to dry out completely between waterings. It benefits from occasional feeding during the growing season with a balanced cactus fertilizer.

    Superkabuto Starshape, Star Cactus, Sand Dollar Cactus.
