Astrophytum ornatum (DC.) F.A.C.Weber in Bois Ecofamily:Cactaceae Pot diameter:5.5cm.
Succulent star-shaped plant (hence the name 'Astro' from the Greek word for star). Summer growing and easy to maintain. It is also found as a grafted plant but grows very well with its own roots. It needs a well-drained substrate and a small amount of organic matter (to maintain its compact shape and not elongate).
Fertilizing in the spring and summer with a low N fertilizer leads to rapid plant growth. Potassium helps the plant stay compact and healthy. Care is needed in watering. Dilute from March to October as its delicate roots suffer in excess moisture conditions. Therefore it should be watered when the soil is dry. As the temperature drops, reduce watering and stop watering completely in winter when the plant is in conditions of 5 to 15 °C and necessarily in low humidity.
