Astrophytum consists of small, perennial cacti characterized by their ribbed, rounded or elongated stems. These plants feature areoles that may be covered in wool and occasionally have short spines. In the summer, they produce large, solitary flowers shaped like funnels, which are followed by berries that can be red or green.

This genus comprises approximately 33 species of sizable, columnar cacti that originate from South America. They feature ribbed, spiny stems. The flowers, which are large and funnel-shaped, open at night, primarily in white but occasionally in shades of pink, purple, yellow, green, and, on rare occasions, cream.
