CACTACEAEAstrophytum

Trees dressed in stars.

Astrophytum means “star plant,” and one look explains why. Its fuzzy areoles scatter across the body like constellations in a night sky. Famous stars include Kabuto and Bishop’s Cap, but the real magic lies in the endless variation. Most plants are grown from seed through cross-pollination, meaning no two individuals are quite the same. Add a thriving hybrid scene, and you have one of the cactus world’s great beauty contests.

You can search for photos, care methods, and flower images of Astrophytum.
