Astrophytum Myriostigma Tricostatum Nudum is a mature, architectural form defined by its three-ribbed (tricostate) structure and smooth, fleck-free epidermis. The Nudum expression places full emphasis on geometry—clean rib angles, balanced proportions, and a calm, sculptural presence without visual interruption from white spotting.
At this stage, the tricostate form is fully stable and clearly expressed, allowing collectors and breeders to confidently evaluate symmetry, rib sharpness, and overall balance. Each specimen is hand-picked and carefully selected for health, structure, and well-established roots. Natural variation in rib angle and body proportion is expected, but the Tricostatum identity remains consistent and refined.
The 4-inch size represents a true breeder-plant stage. At 3–4 inches in diameter, this plant has reached flowering size, with mature, stable traits ideal for breeding, flower observation, and long-term evaluation. Rather than waiting for form to develop, you’re observing it at its most confident stage—fully expressed, composed, and ready—while still allowing subtle refinement to continue over time.
You will receive one healthy plant similar in size and overall form to the plants shown.
Please understand that minor differences in rib sharpness and body proportion are natural, even at this advanced stage.
• 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 normal and expected
• Minor cosmetic imperfections do not affect plant 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.
Thank you,
