Astrophytum ornatum

Astrophytum ornatum Family: Cactaceae.   A close relative of the Bishop's Cap cactus (A. myriostigma).  The plant is strongly ribbed and covered with white felt. Unlike the Bishop's Cap this species forms numerous yellow spines. For several years the plant will grow bigger in a globular form, but will eventually become upright. Very old specimens can reach 6' or more. Don't worry if you have limited space, it can live in a 6" pots for many, many years (upwards of 10 years or more).  Flowers bright yellow and produced throughout the summer.  Easy to grow, just give normal cactus care.  Protect from frost. You will receive a plant shown in the last image or one similar. Plants shown in a 3.5" pot.   Important Shipping Information PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss.
