🌟🧼 Astrophytum Myriostigma Nudum – The Smooth Operator of the Cactus World 🧼🌟 (Small)
🌟🧼 Astrophytum Myriostigma Nudum – The Smooth Operator of the Cactus World 🧼🌟
Sleek. Sculptural. Spine-free. The Astrophytum Myriostigma var. Nudum is the James Bond of cacti—cool under pressure, smooth to the touch, and always dressed to impress. With its glossy green skin and perfect star-shaped form, this plant is less “prickly desert dweller” and more “living art piece.”
☀️ Sun-Soaked & Stunning – Thrives in bright light and full sun. The more rays it gets, the deeper and glossier that emerald-green skin becomes. It’s basically out here photosynthesizing in a tux.
💦 Drama-Free Drought Lover – Needs minimal watering. Let the soil dry out completely before watering. This is not a plant that wants to talk about its feelings—or sit in soggy soil.
🌵 No Spines, All Style – Unlike most cacti, this one skips the spikes and goes straight for elegant, minimalist vibes. It’s like someone carved it from jade and gave it a chill personality.
Perfect for modern plant shelves, architectural displays, or anyone who loves a cactus with sophistication, the Myriostigma Nudum is a must-have for collectors who appreciate the quiet confidence of a plant that doesn’t need to shout to be noticed.
💚✨ Add this smooth operator to your collection—it’s a whole mood in cactus form.
COLD CLIMATES - ADD HEAT PACK
We strongly advise to include a Heat Pack (available on our shop) in order to protect the plant from temperature extremes. Any order that does NOT have a heat pack is not covered by the live plant guarantee.

Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
