Up for sale is a stunning, premium-grade Astrophytum asterias cv. Kikko x 5-Rib Fukuryu measuring aproximately 65mm in diameter.
Grown by me from seed, it features highly defined, deep tortoise-shell Kikko notches, distinct Fukuryu extra ridging between the ribs, and large, fluffy white areoles. It has beautifully maintained its rare, highly sought-after geometric form.
This plant is strictly seed-grown on its own roots (never grafted). The skin is completely clean, plump, healthy, and blemish-free. A perfect addition for any collector looking for high-end Asian lineage on stable natural roots.

Care Instructions
Follow these detailed care instructions to keep your Elkhorn Fern thriving:
Mounting
Elkhorn ferns are epiphytic, meaning they naturally grow attached to trees. For best results:
- Mount on wood, cork, or similar materials
- Use sphagnum moss around the roots
- Secure with fishing line or plant-safe wire until established
Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
