Lophophora Williamsii Cactus Seeds

Lophophora williamsii cactus seeds fresh from our nursery. Also known as peyote, Lophophora williamsii is a rare spineless cactus native to Northern Mexico and South Texas. Equipped with fresh seeds, some guidance, and basic supplies anyone can grow Lophophora williamsii at home from seed, and help preserve it for future generations. Patience and dedication will lead to healthy and rewarding plants.

Most young plants have 5 ribs, while older specimens can grow up to 13 ribs. They usually grow solitary, but can also grow caespitose. They maintain a large subterranean taproot which acts as a water reservoir during the dry season. Once mature they regularly display beautiful pink flowers throughout the summer months. However, Lophophora is a slow growing cactus it can take a decade to reach flowering age.

Lophophora enjoys the company of other plants and does well potted in large groups. Peyote should be grown in partial shade to avoid damaging the cactus from intense sunlight.
