Astrophytum myriostigma, commonly known as Bishop’s Cap, is a classic and elegant cactus prized for its star-like symmetry and spineless form. Its rounded, columnar body is typically divided into five distinct ribs and covered with fine white speckling, giving it a soft, silvery-green appearance. In the right conditions, mature plants reward growers with large, silky yellow flowers at the crown, adding seasonal charm to their sculptural beauty.
Easy to care for, Bishop’s Cap thrives in bright light, well-draining soil, and infrequent watering, making it suitable for both collectors and beginners. Its clean lines and minimalist look allow it to stand out as a living piece of art in modern interiors or curated succulent displays.
Pet Safety: Should be kept away from pets and children, as ingestion may be harmful.
