Astrophytum asterias 'Super Kabuto' – Super Kabuto Star Cactus Seeds

Astrophytum asterias 'Super Kabuto' is a Japanese-bred form of the star cactus, selected for dense, bold white flecking that can cover the body in bands and patches. It's spineless, low and dome-shaped, grows to about 3 inches across, and flowers yellow with a red throat. Flecking varies from seedling to seedling.

Germination

Moderate. Surface-sow on a fine mineral mix, keep warm (75–85°F) and humid, and expect germination in 7–21 days. Seedlings are slow, and the flecking develops as they grow.
