Astrophytum asterias cv. Superkabuto

Cultivation and propagation: It is a summer grower plant relatively easy to grow. It is sometimes seen as a grafted plant but grows well on its own roots too. It is not too difficult in a greenhouse, although grows slowly.

Watering: Requires careful watering to keep plant compact. Water sparingly from March till October. Keep dry as soon as the temperature starts dropping in October and keep it perfectly dry in winter at temperatures from 5 to 15 degrees centigrade.

Hardiness: They need to be kept in a cool place during winter rest and are somewhat resistant to frost if kept on the dry side prior to, and during, cold weather. It tends to rot in winter during the resting phase, if kept wet.

Sun exposure: It needs a good amount of light. Light shade to full sun, its color tends to richer and darker when grown in light shade.

Astrophytum asterias cv superTINY

Asked them to choose two of their best super kabutos as these were Christmas presents for my wife. Took some time for them to arrive. Awesome packaging! But when we opened them we saw 2 really disappointingly small cacti. Not even near the ones featured above. I’m not recommending this product to anyone!

I love all the plants. I just keep buying. You name a plant they have them. Pots that are breath taking and plants you can't get here. Bonnie Mingua
