| Astrophytum ornatum are native to Mexico, and generally more heavily spined than other Astrophytums. The body can be dark green with very few silvery felty "scales", or can be densely covered so as to appear nearly white. Approximately 8 ribs; globular when young but somewhat columnar with age. Spines are golden, approximately 1" in length and arranged marginally along the angles of the ribs. Requires bright light. Soil must have extra drainage; such as can be attained by addition of extra pumice or perlite. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to touch, do not allow soil to remain waterlogged. Protect from frost.
