Lophophora Williamsii Cactus | Wild Specimen

Our “wild grown” specimens are grown at our nursery in a way that mimics this natural habitat. Life is not easy in the Chihuahuan, neither is it here where we mirror these wild conditions. Water is withheld and food / amendments are always organic with a focus on soil health. These Lophophora williamsii grow in an almost entirely mineral soil, replicating the limestone rich soils they naturally grow in. They are also grown in full sunlight under intense heat. While these conditions slow their growth, they produce exceptionally resilient plants. As a result, the cactus develops a flatter, more natural appearance, similar to those found in the wild. All Wild Specimen Cactus Lophophora williamsii cacti are a mature flowering size and produce seed.

Lophophora williamsii is a solitary spineless cactus. Its stem is glaucous green, dull bluish or greyish green, very succulent, globular, top-shaped, or somewhat flattened with a woolly top; The subterranean portion of the stem, which is as wide as the aerial portion, extends below the surface of the ground and transitions smoothly into a large taproot.
