Astrophytum myriostigma Plant

Also known as the Bishop’s Cap cactus

Origin:
Native to the highlands of northeastern and central Mexico, Astrophytum myriostigma is a spineless, star-shaped cactus prized for its sculptural symmetry and silvery coating. This plant adds a quiet elegance to any collection and can even surprise you with soft yellow blooms when it’s happy. Though the flower buds do bite!

Growing Conditions:
This cactus thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil. It has been grown under full Arizona sun at Arid Adaptations, making it more resilient than greenhouse-grown plants. Its low-maintenance nature makes it a great fit for both new and seasoned growers.

Sourcing Process:
At Arid Adaptations Nursery, each plant is hand-selected for health, form, and character. We take great care in choosing and prepping the best plants to ship—so the one that reaches you is strong, established, and ready to thrive in its new home.
