Description

Astrophytum Onzuka stands out as one of the most exquisite and coveted cultivars of the myriostigma species. Its epidermis is densely speckled with snowy-white patterns reminiscent of the ‘kabuto’ asterias, with each plant displaying unique and evolving designs as it matures.

Characterized by a symmetrical star shape featuring 5 to 6 prominent ribs and a smooth, spineless surface, it presents a sculptural form. The stem ranges from spherical to short cylindrical, measuring 8–10 cm in diameter, with a dark green epidermis occasionally adorned with sparse white hair tufts.

Its striking pale-yellow flowers, often exceeding 5 cm in width, add to its ornamental appeal.

Environment

Like most cacti they're drought tolerant and need very little care and attention to grow well. Not enough sunlight and over-watering are common mistakes.

Plenty of sunshine will keep this cacti more than happy. In a glass room you may have to provide some shade during a hot summers day to prevent sunburn

Feed every 4 weeks with a Nitrogen-poor and Potassium & Phosphorus-rich fertilizer during summer

Landscape Uses

It is an excellent plant for garden rockery settings, desert type landscapes, patios and botanical gardens

The easiest to keep alive - Cactus thrive on neglect! Coming from desert climates cactus love sun! However beware of the Indian afternoon sun! Keeping them in extreme heat, especially behind a glass which magnifies the heat can cause the cactus to burn. If you notice the cactus turning brown or yellow on the side facing the sun, try giving it a cooler place to thrive in!

For watering cacti, the golden rule is to make sure the soil is completely dry before watering! This will stop the roots from rotting. It is advised to always use a pot with a drainage hole so that excess water can get drained out. If kept in a sunny area, you will need to water it once every week. If it is in a semi shaded or filtered light area, you might need to water it once in 2 weeks.

Cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. You can fertilise the cactus in the summer months when it is in its growing season. During the winters it is best to cut back on any fertiliser and let the plant rest.
