Astrophytum asterias, commonly known as the sand dollar cactus, star cactus or sea urhin cactus. It has a flat, disc-like body that usually grows up to 5-15cm in diameter and about 2.5-5cm in height. It is typically divided into 8 ribs, giving it a star-like appearance from above. The body is in grayish-green or deep green colour with small white speckles that resemble tiny stars.
Unlike many cacti, it is spineless by having tufts of short, white or yellowish wolly aeroles (small bumps) along the ribs. Astrophytum asterias produces yellow flowers with orange or reddish centers in funnel-shaped and can up to 7.5cm in diameter.
Always display dried flowers indoors, to keep them protected from the elements.
Keep your dried flowers away from direct sunlight, areas of bright light and away from humidity.
Sprinkling water or perfume can cause damage
Avoid crushing, pressing or folding flower.
If the preserved flower is stained by the dust, you can clean the preserved flower with the blower blowing softly 20cm away from the flower.
Temperature changes should be avoided to prevent humidity which could affect your blossoms.
