Astrophytum caput-medusae The Medusa Head Astrophytum. Unquestionably the most unusual Astrophytum and one of the most unique cacti! The plant has a thick tap root topped by long tubercules. This is the variegated form of the species so the tubercules are yellow to orange, sometimes green. High light turns them orange, lower is yellow. This plant is grafted.
Easy to grow, likes strong light. Put in a well drained cactus soil. Sensitive to overwatering. Protect from frost.
You will receive a plant shown in the fourth image. Plants shown in a 3.5" pot. Last image shows a mature plant.
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
Thank you!
