Goat Horn Cactus | Astrophytum capricorne

Native to the dry landscapes of northern Mexico, Goat Horn cactus earns its name from the long, curling spines that rise from its sharply defined ribs. Fine white flecks across its deep green body give it a starry, textured look.

Its compact shape makes a striking focal point on a sunny shelf, while the dramatic spines reward a closer look from every angle. Give it a bright spot and a light hand with water to bring a little desert character into your collection.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright light; introduce direct sun gradually to avoid scorching.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, then let it dry again before watering.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus mix in a pot with drainage.
• Temperature: Keep warm and protect from frost.
• Safety: Its long spines are sharp. Handle carefully and keep away from pets and children.
