Astrophytum asterias Plant

A cosmic seedpod in cactus form—tiny, grounded, and full of wonder.

Origin:
Native to parts of Texas and northeastern Mexico, Astrophytum asterias is a low-growing, spineless cactus that looks like it dropped straight from the stars. Its round, flat body is dotted with fuzzy areoles, forming perfect symmetry—like a sacred mandala etched in green.

Growing Conditions:
This cactus prefers bright, indirect sun or filtered light and needs well-draining soil to thrive. At Arid Adaptations Nursery, it’s raised with care and given time to grow at its own sacred pace. While it may be small, it holds the quiet power of patience, stillness, and cosmic beauty.

Sourcing Process:
Each Astrophytum asterias is selected for its shape, markings, and health. Grown in southern Arizona under natural light, not greenhouse coddled, these are desert-born and starlight-touched.

Processing Time:
Live plants take time and intention. We prepare each A. asterias carefully before sending it on its next journey—please allow a little extra processing time.

Shipping Information:
Flat-rate shipping applies. We take care in wrapping each plant to ensure it arrives safely, carrying all the magic it held when it left the nursery.
