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 gray tubercules. They aren't leaves! Flowers bright yellow and produced throughout the summer.
Easy to grow, likes strong light. Put in a well drained cactus soil. Sensitive to overwatering. Protect from frost.
These are good sized plants on their own roots.
You will receive a plant shown in the last image. Plants shown in a 3.5" pot.
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!
