Highlights
Astrophytum asterias (Lemaire): An adorably small cactus with fuzzy white dots that resembles a sea urchin without spines. Despite its minute size, this plant often produces a lemon yellow flower that is bigger than the rest of the plant. It is native to Texas and Mexico and stays under 2.0" tall and 4.0" wide. This plant is currently about 1.0" wide.
SPECIAL RETURN POLICY: We will not accept returns, send replacements, or refund this product if the reason is "size is too small".
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
