Product Description

The Astrophytum asterias is a captivating cactus known for its unique star-shaped appearance. This variety, called Astrophytum asterias cv HANAZONO 2 HEADS, features two distinct heads, making it a striking addition to any collection. People often call it the star cactus or sand dollar cactus due to its flat, round shape and radial pattern. It originates from the deserts of Texas and Mexico, adding to its appeal as a Texas native and Mexican cactus.

The HANAZONO 2 HEADS cultivar is especially prized for its rarity. Its two-headed growth form sets it apart from typical single-headed plants. This rare Astrophytum variant offers an unusual and ornamental silhouette. Collectors value its symmetrical, smooth green body adorned with tiny white flecks. The cactus also lacks spines, giving it a soft, delicate look despite its desert origin.

  • Two distinct, rounded heads grow closely together.
  • Star-like shape with radial ribs and white flecks.
  • Spineless body enhances its smooth texture.
  • Compact size ideal for display in small spaces.
  • Native to arid regions of Texas and Mexico.
