Astrophytum asterias cv. Super Kabuto V type

Super Kabuto is a hybrid created from a wild plant with unusually large markings. These plants are known for their ornate, over-sized markings on the epidermis which will become more pronounced with age. V-types are a selectively bred Super Kabuto with large v-shape flocking.

Care

Like most xerophytes from Mexico, this cultivar 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. Overwatering can cause the plant to split or rot.
