Lophophora Koehresii Cactus

Lophaphora koehresii is the second smallest of the Lophophoras. It has big pale pink flowers variety and unusually thin petals with darker midstripes. It is a globular spineless like the other Lophophora members with a large tap root and very interesting flower with pink to brownish coloured strips. It is a characteristically dark green colour. The ribs are more strongly in relief than others. Although this species usually grows as a single headed plant in its native habitat, in cultivation with time, once a mature plant reaches 5-6 centimetres in width, pups do begin showing themselves. The stem to root ratio is unique in this cactus having one of the largest subterranean roots of the genus Lophophora.
