Astrophytum myriostigma pentacostatum

Astrophytum myriostigma 'Pentacostatum' is a fascinating variety of cactus known for its unique features. Here’s a bit more about it:

Appearance: This cactus has a star-shaped, globular form with a distinctive, ribbed structure. The 'Pentacostatum' variant typically has five prominent ribs that are covered in tiny, white, woolly hairs. The surface of the cactus is often a pale green or grayish color, adding to its striking appearance.
Growth: It’s a slow-growing cactus, and it’s relatively small compared to some other species. Over time, it can form a beautiful, compact mound.
Care: Like other Astrophytum species, it prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It's fairly drought-tolerant, but during the growing season (spring and summer), it benefits from occasional watering. Be sure to let the soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
Propagation: Propagation is usually done by seed or by offsets, though the latter can be slower due to the cactus’s slow growth rate.

Overall, Astrophytum myriostigma 'Pentacostatum' is a striking and relatively low-maintenance cactus, making it a great addition to a cactus collection or a unique feature in a succulent garden
