Care Guidelines

Astrophytum, being lovers of heat, thrive in warm settings. At least 6-8 hours of sunlight is a necessity for cacti. Provide shade for outdoor Astrophytum to prevent sunburn caused by too much sunlight. These slow-growing plants have minimal watering requirements. Astrophytum enjoys low nitrogen and potassium-filled or balanced fertilizer in spring and summer.

Ideal Placement

Astrophytum loves to thrive in sunny and warm locations. A south-facing window provides the cacti with plenty of sunlight. The balcony or patio offers direct sunlight and good air circulation for outdoor cacti.

Do I have to repot my plants once I receive them?

No, you don’t need to repot your plants immediately. Give them a couple of weeks to adjust to their new environment. Repotting right away can stress the plants after their journey.
