Product Description

Astrophytum asterias cv 'Hanazono Super Star Shape' is a distinctive and highly prized cultivar in the cactus world, belonging to the Astrophytum genus. This particular variety is renowned for its exceptional shape and ornamental qualities, making it a favorite among cactus enthusiasts and collectors.

  1. Appearance: The 'Hanazono Super Star Shape' cultivar stands out with its pronounced star-shaped form. This cultivar takes the natural star-like shape of the Astrophytum asterias to an extreme, featuring more pronounced and angular ribs that give it a very geometric, almost sculptural appearance.

  2. Surface Texture: Like its parent species, it typically has a smooth, green body, but what sets it apart are the white flecks or woolly dots that adorn its surface. These flecks can be dense and form intricate patterns, adding to its decorative appeal.

  3. Size: This cultivar remains relatively compact, a trait inherited from the Astrophytum asterias species, which is known for its small, dome-shaped body. The 'Hanazono Super Star Shape' is ideal for collections where space is limited.

  4. Flowers: It produces large, bright yellow flowers that contrast beautifully with its green and white body. The flowers are typically large in comparison to the size of the cactus.

Cultivation:

  • Light: Prefers bright but indirect sunlight. Direct, harsh sunlight can cause sunburn.
  • Soil: Well-draining cactus mix is essential to prevent root rot.
  • Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions. Reduce watering in the winter.
  • Temperature: Keep in a warm environment, particularly in winter, as it is not frost-hardy.
  • Fertilization: A diluted cactus fertilizer can be used during the growing season.

Astrophytum asterias cv 'Hanazono Super Star Shape' is a true gem in the cactus world, treasured for its unique star-like structure and decorative appeal. Its cultivation needs are typical of cacti, making it a suitable choice for both experienced collectors and those new to cactus care.
