This is not grafted
Since this friend will also probably sell me some Astro seeds that come from cross pollinated Variegated exemplars,i will probably buy the seeds...

Seeds are definitely the way to go! You can get so many seeds for that price.

uk, kinda difficult to label them, i suggest you to go for reverse search with google, all of those are found easily on the net

This one actually is one that you wont find , since a friend of mine has it
He dais is a normal Astro Miriostigma "Round form" variegated (but i sense some Asterias genetics in those areole)

I could buy it, he asks 70 € and it probably worths it, but i prefer expend the same amount of money in seeds
What do you think about this price? would you buy it?

Edit
I red some sentences i wrote down here, english is not my first lenguage, sorry if i talk like Yoda




70 euros is a lot of money. I'd go with what everybody else said and buy a buncha seeds. You should get alot. Then graft they hell of the babies.

Does anyone have experience rerooting old astro's?

I have this one to save, it lost its roots late 2013. Last summer I was lazy and neglectful and it just sat around in a clay pot, forgotten about, and I had missed some mealy bugs on it :facepalm:

So, now bug free, and needing roots!



Any tips anyone? I thought I had read something before about success with astro rooting on damp vermiculite but that isn't something I want to just experiment with, with an old lump like this.
Cut back and get a fresh callous? Shave and callous just the central core?

I've had very limited experience with rooting astrophytum.

Damp vermiculite seems to be the Chinese for rooting cuttings after a 2 week callous.

Myriostigma seems to root easier in my experience and asterias are the trouble makers.

I would place in any soil of your choice and water once every week or two (however you water your other astros) and not lift up the cactus for atleast 2 months unless you fear rot.

I have rerooted a myriostigma that had root rot but later lost it to orange rot so :shrug:

Ugh, just had my largest, only hard rooted astro succumb to rot.  These grafts are chugging along though.

Losing a plant is always bad, but your grafts are looking fine. :smile:
