Astrophytum myriostigma HYBRID

The Astrophytum myriostigma hybrid is a striking cactus variety prized for its unique shapes and diverse colorations. Like the standard Bishop’s Cap Cactus, this hybrid is spineless with prominent ribbed sections—typically 5, but variations may occur, creating a star-like structure. The skin can range from deep green to gray-green, often adorned with a light dusting of white trichomes or completely bare in nudum forms. Hybrids of Astrophytum myriostigma often display unique characteristics, including unusual rib counts, enhanced colors, and larger or differently colored flowers, typically yellow with occasional red centers. These hybrids are highly sought-after by collectors for their aesthetic appeal and genetic diversity.
