Astrophytum Asterias cv Goryo 5 ribs Big size

Astrophytum Asterias cv. Goryo 🌿 — Scientific name: Astrophytum asterias cultivar ‘Goryo’ (Cactaceae). A highly ornamental Japanese cultivar of the star cactus, A. asterias, this form is celebrated for its perfectly round, spineless body and intricate pattern of dense white flecking that often forms starburst or snowflake-like markings across deep green skin. Originating from Japan’s dedicated cactus breeders, ‘Goryo’ is compact, symmetrical, and exquisitely geometric — a living sculpture ideal for minimalist or collector displays.
