The Astrophytum myriostigma huboki, also known as Astrophytummyriostigma var. columnare f. minima, is a unique cactus species revered by collectors and enthusiasts. Belonging to the Astrophytum genus, this variety stands out for its spineless, geometric appearance and dense white flecks, giving it a striking look that resembles starry patterns across its surface. Native to Mexico, it is a slow-growing but rewarding plant, perfect for indoor cultivation or as a part of a cactus collection in arid landscapes. 

The Astrophytum myriostigma huboki has a green body covered in tiny white, woolly dots that serve as natural sunscreen. This cactus lacks spines, making it more approachable and easier to handle. At maturity, it can grow to around 2 feet tall and about 8 inches in diameter, giving it a compact and manageable size for container growth.


The flowers of this Astrophytum myriostigma huboki bloom in the spring and summer with stunning, daisy-like blooms that are bright yellow with a touch of orange or red at the center.

These blooms typically emerge from the plant's apex and can last several days, offering a delightful contrast to the plant's textured surface.

With proper care, this cactus can flower multiple times throughout the growing season.

The brightly colored flowers of the cactus are excellent at attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. These pollinators are drawn to the vivid blooms, helping to ensure the plant’s reproduction and seed formation.

However, it should be noted that this cactus is typically grown indoors or in controlled environments, where natural pollination may be limited unless it’s outdoors during blooming periods. 

When it comes to care, this cactus thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can handle full sun exposure, especially in the morning hours. When growing outdoors, it can handle temperatures down to USDA Zone 9-11 but should be protected from frost. When growing indoors, this cactus prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. Place it near a south- or west-facing window for optimal light. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly.

Water only when the soil is fully dry, typically once every two to three weeks during the growing season and reduce watering in the winter months. Use a well-draining cactus mix or sandy, gritty soil to prevent water retention and root rot. During the growing season, which is typically in the spring, diluted cactus fertilizer once a year can encourage healthy growth and blooming. 

This Astrophytum cactus is considered non-toxic to both humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes with children or animals. Its lack of spines also adds to its appeal as a houseplant, offering beauty without the risk of injury. Order your very own Astrophytum myriostigma huboki today!
