Astrophytum Myriostigma Quadricostatum Cactus Seeds

Discover the beauty of the Astrophytum Myriostigma Quadricostatum, a rare and highly sought-after cactus variety prized by collectors for its unique 4-ribbed form. Unlike the classic Bishop’s Cap, which typically develops five ribs, this distinctive cultivar maintains four, giving it a striking and symmetrical appearance. Its smooth, spineless body is decorated with tiny white trichomes, creating a soft, starry pattern that makes it a standout in any cactus collection.

Perfect for indoor growing, greenhouses, or specialized desert gardens, this cactus is low-maintenance and thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. With time, it produces charming yellow blooms that contrast beautifully against its grey-green body.

Astrophytum myriostigma is a spineless succulent plant. Quadrangular to almost spherical, the plants become shortly columnar with age. The stems are smooth and can be over 90 cm tall and 5-10 (-20) cm in diameter.

A. myriostigma flowers independently of day length, flowering intermittently throughout the warm months from the end of winter to the start of autumn.
