We provide unusual and exotic cactus plants grown from seeds - the Stars of cacti. They are masters in the art of living within plants. Genus  Astrophytum consists of only six wild species.

Astrophytum is a genus of six species of cacti. These species are sometimes referred to as living rocks, though the term is also used for other genera, particularly Lithops (Aizoaceae). The generic name is derived from the Greek words άστρον (astron), meaning "star," and φυτόν (phyton), meaning "plant."

Astrophytum asterias  (Zucc.) Lem – Sand Dollar Cactus, Sea Urchin Cactus, Star Peyote

Astrophytum capricorne (A.Dietr.) Britton & Rose – Goat's Horn Cactus

Astrophytum caput-medusae D.R.Hunt

Astrophytum myriostigma Lem. – Bishop's Cap Cactus, Bishop's Hat, Bishop's Mitre Cactus

Astrophytum ornatum (DC.) Britton & Rose – Monk's Hood

This popular group of cacti consists of only six wild species and maybe a dozen hybrids. These natives to Mexico are suitable for growing in greenhouses, windowsills and outdoors where climates permit. Most of these cacti form short, spherical plants that may or may not have spines. They are usually flecked with small, white scales. In spring to late summer, numerous, large, daisy-like, yellow flowers grow at the plant's crown. Each long-lasting flower opens completely in bright light.  

Japanese cultivars

Cultivars are obtained by selecting those individuals most original from successive crosses of different varieties of Astrophytum.

 But the "secrets" are jealously guarded by Japanese breeders, it is difficult to obtain information on the origins and crosses that gave birth to these little marvels. We have some of them.
