0018C — Astrophytum asterias Cv. Kikko Nudum “Durian”
Astrophytum asterias Cv. Kikko Nudum “Durian” — 0018C
Plant Code: 0018C
Plant Size: 3–4 inches in diameter
Pot Size: 4-inch pot
Quantity: 1 plant
Description
Astrophytum asterias Cv. Kikko Nudum “Durian” is a highly expressive cultivar prized for its extreme Kikko form. In this cultivar, the rib segments are strongly protruded and exaggerated, producing a bold, armored surface. The plant resembles a durian fruit, with deeply divided, outward-pushing segments that give it a powerful, sculptural presence.
In the Nudum expression, the absence of white flecking places full emphasis on rib structure, depth, and body form. At this size, the Durian character is fully readable and stable, with exaggerated segmentation that refines rather than radically changes.
Each plant is hand-picked and carefully selected for health, structure, and well-established roots. Natural variation in exaggeration and segment definition is expected—no two Durian specimens are identical.
Why the 4” Size Is Special
The 4-inch size represents a true breeder-plant stage. At 3–4 inches in diameter, this plant has reached flowering size, with mature structure and genetic traits fully expressed. This is the ideal size for collectors interested in breeding, flower observation, and long-term evaluation of form and stability.
Rather than watching traits emerge, you’re observing them at their peak—confident, established, and ready.
What You Will Receive
You will receive one healthy plant similar in size and overall form to the plants shown.
Please understand that minor differences in rib exaggeration and body shape are natural, even at this advanced stage.
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
• All plants are carefully packed to ensure safe arrival
Explore Other Growth Stages
• 2-inch pots (Starter size) – early identity and long-term development
• 2.5-inch pots (Medium size) – established character, often nearing flowering
Each size tells a different part of the plant’s story.
Important Notes
• 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,
