Astrophytum Caput Medusae Cactus Seeds

The Astrophytum Caput Medusae Cactus is of the most rare and unique cactus species, it is considered critically endangered as it grows in only a single location in Querétaro, Mexico. Astrophytum Caput Medusae is one of the most unusual and sought-after members of the Astrophytum genus. Its form is unlike anything else in the cactus world. This rare cactus breaks from the classic star shape of other Astrophytum species, forming long, slender, snake-like tubercles that radiate from a central crown—resembling the mythical head of Medusa.

Grown from seed, A. caput-medusae develops a distinctive, sculptural form that makes it a standout in any serious cactus collection. In maturity, it produces beautiful yellow flowers with orange to red throats, adding a striking contrast to its grey-green body.

These seeds are ideal for collectors and experienced growers looking to raise a truly exceptional species from the earliest stage.
