The Astrophytum asterias cv. Lizard Skin is a distinctive cultivar of the Astrophytum asterias cactus, valued for its unusual, textured appearance. It features a rough, wrinkled surface that mimics the look of lizard skin, with a dark green body adorned with small, white, woolly areoles. Unlike some related cultivars, its texture is less pronouncedly tubercled but still ruggedly unique. Native to Texas and Mexico, this slow-growing, disc-shaped cactus blooms with large, bright yellow flowers. A favorite among collectors, it thrives in bright light and well-drained soil, offering a subtle yet striking variation of the classic Astrophytum asterias aesthetic.
