Astrophytum asterias cv. Hanazono

This Japanese Astrophytum cultivar is renowned for its additional woolly areoles on its ribbed surface, and its flower buds typically develop between two ribs rather than from areoles. Just like the Superkabuto, this plant possesses unmistakable characteristics.

"Hanazono" loosely translates to "field of flowers" as these cuties bloom from multiple points instead of just the apex. This Japanese Astrophytum cultivar's rarity adds to its allure, making it a standout among collectors. Its unique features, including the extra woolly areoles and unconventional flower bud development, contribute to its status as an uncommon and highly sought-after cultivar.

Care

Like most xerophytes from Mexico, this cacti grows best in a high-mineral mix and requires infrequent watering. This plant thrives in light shade although it can be acclimated to full sun. 

The pot size is 2.75" W
