A true collector’s gem, the Astrophytum asterias cv. Kikko Nudum “Lizard Skin” is a rare and highly sought-after cactus that captivates with its unique texture and form. Unlike the typical fuzzy-speckled asterias, the Nudum variety has a smooth, glossy surface, showcasing its sculptural, geometric ribs. The “Kikko” trait enhances each rib into bold, angular protrusions—earning its “Lizard Skin” nickname.
This slow-growing marvel remains compact, making it ideal for display in a bright windowsill, succulent arrangement, or prized collector’s shelf. When mature and happy, it may reward you with large, daisy-like yellow blooms with vivid orange centers.
Care Tips:
Light: Full sun to bright indirect light
Water: Infrequent; let soil dry completely before watering
Soil: Fast-draining cactus mix
Hardiness: Protect from frost; prefers warm, dry conditions
Comes in a 4.5” grower’s pot, ready to become the star of your cactus collection.
