Plant Size: 1.8–2.5 inches in diameter
Pot Size: 2.5'' Pot
Quantity: 1 Plant
Astrophytum Asterias Linetype Superkabuto is a refined cultivar distinguished by its linear trichome alignment, where white flecking forms elongated, flowing lines rather than scattered clusters. This directional pattern enhances rib symmetry and gives the plant a structured, almost graphic appearance.
At the B size, the line formation is clearly readable and more defined. The rib framework is stable, and the trichomes begin to organize into stronger linear bands, creating visual contrast without overwhelming the plant’s natural geometry. The balance between clean rib spacing and controlled fleck alignment makes this cultivar especially desirable among collectors who appreciate precision and clarity.
Each plant is hand-picked and carefully selected for health, symmetry, and strong root development. Natural variation in line density and placement is expected and part of the individuality of each specimen.
The 2.5-inch stage is where structure and pattern become unmistakable. At 1.8–2.5 inches in diameter, the Linetype character is clearly visible, and many plants at this size are reaching or approaching their flowering stage.
This size offers an ideal balance—large enough to confidently evaluate line structure and rib symmetry, yet early enough to enjoy watching refinement and flowering behavior unfold before full maturity.
You will receive one healthy plant similar in size and overall form to the plants shown.
Please understand that minor differences in trichome alignment and density are natural, as each plant develops individually.
• 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
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.
• Natural variation is expected
• Minor cosmetic imperfections do not affect health
• All sales are final
Happy growing and thank you for being part of this growing community. Every bit of support helps this passion continue to bloom.
