Cactus Astrophytum Myriostigma aka Bishop's Cap Cactus - 4" Pot
Astrophytum myriostigma, also known as the bishop's cap cactus, is native to northeastern and central Mexico. The plant has a spherical or cylindrical body with five to eight ribs and small, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer. It is a slow-growing plant and can be grown indoors or outdoors in a well-draining cactus soil mix. It is important to provide the plant with plenty of sunlight and to allow the soil to dry out completely between watering.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Light: This cactus prefers bright, indirect light, but can also tolerate full sun.
Water: During the growing season (spring and summer), water the cactus when the soil has dried out completely. In the winter, when the plant is dormant, reduce watering to once a month or less. Be sure to use a well-draining soil mix and avoid getting water on the plant's body, as this can lead to rot.
Temperature: This cactus is native to a region with a warm, dry climate, so it is best to keep it in a location with average room temperatures bet
