Astrophytum Asterias 2”—A Miniature Celestial Wonder

Meet the Astrophytum Asterias 2”, a tiny but mighty cactus also known as the Sand Dollar Cactus. Completely spineless, this rare beauty is perfectly symmetrical, with delicate white speckles and ribbed segments that give it a star-like appearance. When mature, it rewards patient growers with a brilliant yellow bloom—a desert treasure in miniature form.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

Light: Thrives in bright, direct light—give it plenty of sunshine to keep it compact and happy.

Water: Minimal watering needed! Let the soil dry out completely between deep drinks. Overwatering is its biggest foe.

Humidity: Loves dry conditions—no misting required. A well-ventilated spot is best.

What It’s Telling You:

Happy Signs: Firm, plump body with vibrant speckles and slow, steady growth.

Needs TLC: Wrinkling? It’s thirsty. Mushy or discolored patches? Cut back on watering and let it dry out.

Good News for Pet Parents:

This cactus is not pet-safe, so keep it away from curious paws and nibblers.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 2” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the height of the plant.

• Your Astrophytum Asterias will arrive in its nursery pot—any decorative containers shown are for styling inspiration only.

• At 3B’s Flowers, we photograph every plant in-house, but nature doesn’t do clones. Expect unique speckling and growth patterns that make your cactus truly one of a kind.

Symbolism with Style:

Astrophytum Asterias symbolizes patience, resilience, and celestial beauty—a perfect choice for collectors, minimalists, and lovers of all things rare and extraordinary.
