0045A – Astrophytum Asterias Linetype Superkabuto 2'' Pot
Plant Code: 0045A
Plant Size: 1–1.5 inches in diameter
Pot Size: 2'' Pot
Quantity: 1 Plant
Description
Astrophytum Asterias Linetype Superkabuto is a refined cultivar distinguished by its linear trichome patterning, where white flecking aligns in elongated, flowing lines rather than scattered clusters. This creates a structured, directional appearance that enhances the natural rib symmetry of the plant.
Even at this early stage, the foundational line structure is beginning to emerge. The alignment of trichomes hints at the future clarity and contrast that will become more pronounced as the plant matures. The balance between clean rib geometry and controlled fleck placement makes Linetype Superkabuto a favorite among collectors who appreciate pattern precision.
Each plant is hand-picked and carefully selected for health, early structure, and strong root development. Natural variation in line density and alignment is expected at this stage.
Why the 2” Size Is Special
The 2-inch stage is where identity quietly forms. At 1–1.5 inches in diameter, this plant has moved beyond its most sensitive phase and is beginning to reveal the first signs of its Linetype expression.
For collectors who enjoy growing alongside their plants, this size allows you to witness how the linear flecking gradually sharpens and organizes over time. This stage rewards patience, observation, and long-term vision.
What You Will Receive
You will receive one healthy plant similar in size and overall form to the plants shown.
Please understand that variation in early line development is natural, especially at this stage of growth.
Shipping Information
• Plants are shipped with pot and soil when soil conditions are dry to reduce root stress
• If soil is moist at the time of shipping, plants will be shipped bareroot (soilless) for safety
• Carefully packed to ensure safe arrival
Explore Other Growth Stages
Each plant size represents a meaningful stage in the journey—not better or worse, just different moments in time.
• 2'' Pot (A Size) – Still small but past the most sensitive stage, these plants are beginning to reveal their identity. Early structure is set, and characteristic traits slowly start to show, making this size ideal for growers who value patience and growing alongside the plant.
•2.5'' Pot (B Size) – This stage marks a turning point. The plant’s form is clearly readable, traits are established, and many plants at this size are reaching or approaching flowering. While structure is visible, character will continue to unfold with time.
•4'' Pot (C Size) – A mature, breeder-size stage. At this size, traits are striking and fully expressed, and the plant is capable of flowering and breeding. Even so, growth does not stop here—subtle refinement, balance, and beauty continue to evolve year after year.
Each size tells a different part of the story, and each offers its own reward depending on where you are in your collecting journey.
Important Notes
• Natural variation is normal and expected
• Minor cosmetic imperfections do not affect plant health
• All sales are final
