Astrophytum 'Super Kabuto' (B)

Astrophytum 'Super Kabuto' (B)Astrophytum 'Super Kabuto' One of the most attractive forms of Astrophytum. This hybrid is like the normal Sea Urchin cactus but with a much patterning of white flecks. This patterning is different on every plant. Makes beautiful yellow or red flowers in summer. Fairly easy to care for, except it can be fussy about overwatering especially in winter. Surprisingly, it is less rot prone than the normal form or the species. Can take light frost when more

adding some branches as it matures

but prefers it a bit warmer in winter if possible (that is true for all Pachypodiums)

This plant is native from northern Mexico all the way north to Wyoming

Likes strong light and well drained soil

This plant has a golden yellow variegation that isn't as dramatic as Kichiokan but the blue color actually makes it more attractive to me at least

Xerosicyos denguyi An unusual cucumber relative known as the Silver Dollar Plant

but prefers it a bit warmer in winter if possible (that is true for all Pachypodium)

Likes bright light (full sun if possible but not necessary)

Will continue to make new pads and form a multibranched plant in time

Similar care to the other leafy Madagascar species
