The homeland of the desert Astrophytum cactus is South America and Mexico. Translated into Russian, the name of the plant means: “Astro” – “star” and “phytum” – “vegetable”. There are quite a few varieties of Astrophytum that are grown indoors, and they are very popular with flower growers. In most varieties, the trunk has a proportionally rounded shape, while the ribs are both weak and strongly pronounced.<\/p>\n

As a rule, the trunk is painted in a greenish-brown shade<\/a>, while there are specks and specks of a light shade on it. Only a small part of the species and varieties of Astrophytum have large needles. Most often they are absent at all or they are very weakly expressed. Flowering occurs in the summer, with large single flowers forming at the top of the bush. Their color can range from egg yolk to white. There are varieties in which the inner part of the flower is painted in an orange-red hue.<\/p>\n
