Astrophytum myriostigma cv. Kikko nudum f. variegata is a captivating Japanese cultivar characterized by its variegated appearance. This cactus, originating from mutations in the Astrophytum myriostigma species, displays striking patterns of creamy orange, red, yellow, or light green on its stem surfaces. The variegation often appears in geometric shapes, resembling a “kikko” or turtle shell, hence its name.
This cultivar retains the typical features of Astrophytum myriostigma, including its spherical or columnar growth habit and prominent ribs adorned with areoles. However, the variegated patterning adds a unique and eye-catching element to the plant’s overall aesthetic.
Astrophytum myriostigma cv. Kikko nudum f. variegata requires similar care to its non-variegated counterparts. It thrives in well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and minimal water, typical of desert-adapted cacti. However, variegated cacti may require special attention, as the lack of chlorophyll in certain areas of the epidermis can make them more susceptible to sunburn and other stress-related issues.
Despite these challenges, Astrophytum myriostigma cv. Kikko nudum f. variegata is highly prized among cactus enthusiasts and collectors for its unique and visually appealing variegation. It is often featured as a focal point in succulent collections and desert-themed gardens, where its striking appearance can be admired.
