Cultivating and caring for Astrophytum asterias v-TYPE X myriostigma requires attention to its specific needs. Like most cacti, it thrives in well-draining soil and requires ample sunlight.

Additionally, these plants are drought-tolerant but appreciate occasional watering during the growing season, while reducing watering in the winter to mimic their natural dormancy period.
