ASTROPHYTUM ORNATUM
Habitat: Mexico
Description:
Astrophytum ornatum, known as Bishop's Cap or Monk's Hood, is a star-shaped cactus with a green body and has white bands of woolly scales. This plant is the largest and easiest to grow and also the fastest of the Astrophytums. Spherical when young to columnar when mature, some develop nice twists with age. It develops numerous white woolly flakes for protection from the sun.
Astrophytum ornatum are by far my best bloomers. They begin flowering in the early spring and bloom late into the autumn with a gorgeous scented large pure yellow flower.
It may grow up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height and 30 centimetres (12 in) in width.
Its geometric form and ease of care make it a perfect choice for minimalist gardens or as a modern houseplant.
Please note: The image is representative, the plant may vary slightly since each plant is unique.
