Astrophytum Myriostigma

PLANT:

• One of the key features of Astrophytum myriostigma is its unique rib structure. The cactus has several pronounced, star-shaped ribs that run vertically along its body. The ribs are usually evenly spaced and can give the plant a geometric appearance.
  When in bloom, Astrophytum myriostigma produces striking, yellow flowers at the crown of the cactus. The flowers are relatively large and can have red or brown markings near the center.
  
• Water Needs: Low; allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Water sparingly to prevent overwatering.
• Light Requirement: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. Provide plenty of sunlight, but protect from scorching midday sun in very hot climates.
• Maintenance: Low; minimal pruning required, remove dead or yellowing parts if needed.
• Common Names: Bishop's Cap Cactus, Bishop's Hat.
• Family: Cactaceae.
• Origin: Native to Mexico.
• Cold Tolerance: Not frost-resistant; protect from freezing temperatures.
• Heat Tolerance: Tolerates heat well and thrives in warm to hot conditions.
