Astrophytum myriostigma .It is a popular summer-growing species of relatively easy cultivation.

Growth rate: Slow-growing.

Soil: Grow it in an open standard, sandy-gritty cactus compost and provide a very good drainage.

Exposure: It is suited for sunny-brightly exposure, but can tolerate light shade. However it will do its best with lots of sun and become stressed with inadequate light which could result in poor growth and unnatural shape. It has a good heat tolerance.

Watering: Water regularly (about once a week) during the growing season and keep it completely dry during winter or when night temperatures remain below 10° C. Water it less than average if in bigger pots.


All seeds are fresh of this season and obtained from my personal  collection. (Seeds obtain from the plant shown in pictures).


(NOTE: cactus seeds could be sown in any season under control environment,  however if you wanna go with nature then best time to sow the seeds is early spring/summer
