Astrophytum Myriostigma var. Tricostatum Cactus Seeds

Grow one of the rarest and most unusual forms of the beloved Bishop’s Cap cactus with Astrophytum Myriostigma var. Tricostatum. Unlike the standard species, which develops five ribs, the Tricostatum variety typically features only three distinct ribs, giving it a unique triangular form. This rare variation is highly prized among collectors for its symmetry, rarity, and elegant growth habit. It is a strikingly pretty, old cultivar with only three ribs with light or dense white flecks that cover the stem.  This cultivar tends to be unstable, and some of the three ribbed specimens develop additional ribs as they age. Old and big plants which maintain the typical three ribbed shape are very prized.

Sow the seeds in a well-draining cactus mix and keep conditions warm and slightly humid until germination.

With patience and care, you’ll enjoy cultivating one of the most unique Astrophytum forms available.
