8-10cm Astrophytum asterias variegated （Mother plant）rootless

As a genuine mother plant propagated from select lineage, this exceptional Astrophytum features a well-developed flattened globular body (reaching 8-12cm tall and 12-18cm in diameter, showcasing mature growth) with a perfect star-shaped cross-section defined by 5-8 broad, rounded ribs. Its hallmark is the stable, eye-catching variegation (锦化): a lush green base adorned with irregular patches of creamy white, pale yellow, or soft pink—each variegated section is vivid and consistent, a sign of superior mother plant genetics. Unlike juvenile specimens, this mother plant boasts thicker, more resilient epidermis and well-established areoles, reflecting its mature status.
