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.
