This variety of Asterias cv "Ooibo" is known for its almost comically large areoles. A desirable and uncommon cultivar. 

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.

The pot size is 3.25" W
