Astrophytum myriostigma variegated cactus Features
Appearance: The plant is spherical with obvious ribs, generally five ribs. The surface of the sphere is rich in colors, usually presenting variegated colors with yellow, white and other colors alternating with green.
Size: The diameter is generally 10-20 centimeters, and the height is 50-60 centimeters.
Flowers: The flowers grow on the top of the sphere or on the ribs. The flowers are bright chrysanthemum-like flowers. Different varieties have slightly different flower colors, such as bright yellow, orange-red or elegant champagne color.
Flowering period: The flowering period is relatively short, lasting about 2-4 days.
Growth rate: The growth rate is extremely slow. In the seedling stage, it is mostly a single plant. Generally, it may take more than three years of cultivation to bloom.
Reproduction method: It is not easy to produce offsets. In addition to sowing reproduction, it can also be cut at the top to promote the growth of offsets, or use relatively fast-growing varieties of the same Cactaceae family such as Hylocereus undatus, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, and Echinopsis tubiflora for grafting.
Deformation process: The deformation process of Astrophytum myriostigma is mainly reflected through the morphological changes during its growth process. In the seedling stage, Astrophytum myriostigma is usually spherical. As growth proceeds, the sphere gradually elongates and becomes cylindrical. During this process, the number of ribs on the sphere may also change, ranging from three to nine. In addition, the color of Astrophytum myriostigma may also change with the change of the growth environment.
