Mammillaria asterias seeds x20

Description

Rare and captivating, Mammillaria asterias is a truly special cactus species prized for its star-like symmetry and refined beauty. This compact, globular cactus features evenly spaced tubercles arranged in a near-perfect radial pattern, often adorned with delicate white wool and tiny, short spines that give it a soft, celestial appearance—hence the name asterias, meaning “star-like.”

In spring or early summer, it may reward patient growers with small, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of pale pink or cream, adding to its visual charm. Ideal for small pots, dish gardens, or minimalist arrangements, M. asterias thrives in well-draining soil, bright light, and dry conditions between waterings.

Though it’s a slow grower, starting this rare beauty from seed is a deeply rewarding experience for any cactus enthusiast looking to add something truly unique to their collection.
