Astrophytum Myriostigma Variegated Bishop's Cap Cactus, Succulents, Bare Root Shipping

Astrophytum myriostigma variegated, also known as the Variegated Bishop’s Cap Cactus, is a rare and stunning addition to any succulent or cactus collection.

Characterized by its star-shaped ribs and unique creamy-yellow variegation, this cactus looks almost like a sculpted piece of art.

This listing is for bare root plants and comes in three size ranges:

• Small: approx. 3–4 cm

• Medium: approx. 4–5 cm

We ship randomly selected plants from our collection — each one is unique in its variegation pattern and shape, and that’s part of the charm!
