Sand Dollar Cactus, botanically listed as Astrophytum asterias, is a live cactus plant selected for its distinctive form and ornamental appeal. Natural color, size, form, and presentation may vary slightly with season, maturity, and growing conditions.

Morphological Characteristics

Astrophytum asterias is a spineless, disc-shaped cactus known for its distinct star-like form. It has 8 symmetrical ribs with small, woolly white areoles and is usually 5–15 cm (2–6 inches) in diameter. Its green epidermis is speckled with tiny white trichomes, giving it a dotted or “sand dollar” appearance. Unlike typical cacti, it has no spines, which enhances its clean, minimalistic shape. In bloom, it produces daisy-like yellow flowers with bright orange centers from the crown area.


Growth Habits

This is a slow-growing, solitary cactus with a non-clustering growth habit. It thrives best in stable, warm environments with low humidity. Due to its size and symmetrical aesthetics, it is a favorite among collectors and is best grown in shallow containers or decorative displays. Astrophytum asterias prefers to stay in the same pot for years and is particularly suited for indoor cultivation near sunny windows or in greenhouses with excellent ventilation.


Maintenance Points

Lighting: Needs bright light with partial sun. Morning sun is ideal; avoid harsh midday rays.

Watering: Infrequent but deep watering. Always allow soil to dry completely. Overwatering is fatal.

Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus mix with added pumice or perlite.

Temperature: Best between 70–85°F (21–29°C); must be protected from cold below 41°F (5°C).

Fertilizer: Feed with diluted cactus fertilizer monthly during spring and summer.

Handling: Handle gently to avoid bruising the soft epidermis.

Pests: Watch for mealybugs or root rot if overwatered or grown in poor airflow.

Anne Carson is a Genius
Format: Hardcover
There is no one writing right now -- in essays, novels, poems or short stories -- who is as consistently brilliant as Anne Carson. Her last book, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RED contained some of the finest, most exquisite writing I've ever read; and this next collection is a masterpiece. There is a long essay in the book titled IRONY IS NOT ENOUGH: My Life As Catherine Deneuve that is at once moving, sexy and intelligent. There are also a sequence of poems about Hoppers paintings, paired with St. Augustine's Confessions that show perfectly how Carson dances on the fault lines of the modern and the ancient. This woman will win a Nobel Prize.

Interesting juxtapositions - some successes, some failures
Format: Paperback
As is to be expected from Anne Carson, the breadth of her knowledge results in thought-provoking writing even when it fails as "poetry". An example Hopper:Confessions begins with a quotation from Edward Hopper, followed with 9 separately title poems accompanied by quotations from Augustine's Confessions, and ending with a piece by Hopper. Her essay on female pollution in antiquity is excellent scholarship made enjoyable reading for the "common reading". Several pieces, or portions of pieces, consider Lazarus raising interesting issues from the perspective of Lazarus ... what is his reaction at being called forth (rotting?) from the grave? While many of the pieces, especially the very short pieces, are not impressive, the book is worth your time - for the reflections it provokes in the reader.
