Product Description

Astrophytum myriostigma cv. Fukuryu is a highly prized, rare cultivar of the iconic bishop’s cap cactus. This unique variety is known for its textured, ridged appearance, with irregular raised, wavy ribs that give the plant a striking, almost sculptural look. Its green body is covered with numerous white flecks or trichomes, which give it a frosted appearance, typical of the species. This spineless cactus has a globular to columnar form that can reach up to 60 cm in height. In spring and summer, it produces yellow flowers, adding a delicate touch to its bold, architectural presence.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Use a well-draining cactus mix, preferably with added mineral grit to mimic its natural habitat.

• Watering frequency: Water sparingly; ensure the soil is completely dry before watering again to prevent rot.

• Light exposure: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; can tolerate some direct sunlight but should be protected from intense midday sun.

• Temperature requirements: Thrives in warm climates; protect from frost and temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

• Fertilization: Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth.

• Pruning: Minimal; remove any spent flowers or damaged areas to maintain appearance.

• Common pests: Keep an eye out for pests like mealybugs and scale insects, which can affect the plant.
