Astrophytum Asterias Ooibo Iwata Snow White is a premium cultivar prized for its exceptionally dense, bright white flecking that gives the plant a true snow-white appearance. The Ooibo trait refers to enlarged, bold areoles, while the Iwata line is known for refined balance and stable expression. Combined, these characteristics create a striking contrast between the heavy white patterning and the underlying body.
At this stage, the plant’s pattern density and distribution are already clearly expressed, allowing collectors to confidently evaluate its quality and genetic stability. Each specimen is hand-picked and carefully selected for health, symmetry, and strong root development.
Natural variation in fleck density and overall balance is expected, but the Snow White identity remains distinct and highly collectible.
The 2.5-inch stage is where character truly becomes visible. At 1.8–2.5 inches in diameter, the Snow White flecking is already established and readable, and many plants at this size are approaching their flowering stage.
This size offers an ideal balance—large enough to clearly showcase pattern quality, yet early enough to enjoy the anticipation of first blooms and continued refinement 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 fleck density and distribution are natural, as each plant develops uniquely.
• 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.
