Product Description

Astrophytum myriostigma var. tricostatum stands out for its striking three-rib structure that captivates plant enthusiasts. This unique cactus form originates from Mexican origin, where it thrives in arid conditions. People often call it the Bishop's Cap or Star Cactus because of its star-shaped ribbed appearance, which makes it a sought-after specimen for collectors and desert gardens.

The Astrophytum myriostigma tricostatum features thick, angular ribs that give it a geometric beauty. Unlike other varieties, this three-rib variety emphasizes bold, symmetrical lines with a smooth, matte surface. Its compact shape adds charm and elegance, and it rarely develops spines, offering a clean look that is easy to appreciate.

  • Distinctive ribs form three bold, angular sections
  • Compact size suitable for limited spaces
  • Smooth, matte skin with minimal spines
  • Star-shaped crown enhances ornamental appeal
  • Adapted to dry, sunny habitats native to Mexico

The tricostatum form of Astrophytum myriostigma offers a unique twist on the classic star cactus. Gardeners value it for its sculptural presence and low maintenance. Its geometric ribs and gentle curves make it an eye-catching addition to any collection or desert-themed landscape, celebrating the fascinating beauty of cacti from Mexican origins.
