Lophophora williamsii are very slow growing, small, spineless cacti that originate out of Mexico and Texas. They are used to growing in the most arid of regions and have adapted to requiring very little water to survive.
Largely due to over hunting / poaching in their natural habitat, Peyote have become an endangered species in the wild.
To gauge age, it generally takes about 2 to 3 years to get to 1cm and then it is an average of 1 cm per year. Brings new meaning to labour of love :-).
The 3cm + Lophophora williamsii plants will be flowering age.
Lophophora Care
- Substrate: Very gritty mix with little to no organic material
- Watering: Spring to Autumn (April to September), infrequently
- Light: Natural or artificial (while young), South facing window or greenhouse.
I purchased this cactus during the break, and it was dispatched promptly afterwards. Everything was excellently packaged, arriving in top shape, and I now have the new addition to my collection happily seated on the windowsill. It is a large and healthy specimen, and fills the pot I had ready for it nicely.
I look forward to buying from Byron again very soon!
I can't fault Byron - he contacted me when there was an issue with the order and was a pleasure dealing with. I will be back for more cacti very soon, and would recommend Cactocereus.co.uk to anyone with an interest in these wonderful plants.

They delivered everything fast and very well packaged. The soil was also included which was an amazing surprise as other peyote suppliers don’t do so.
The Lophophora is healthy and beautiful and already happy and settling in its new home.
Can’t wait to get another one!
Delivery was fast and super well packed.
The soil is included (which after browsing online i realised not everyone includes).
The actual cactus is so beautiful and even had some small flowers growing on it (I knocked it off by mistake when planting it).
For sure will get another one!
P.S I attached a picture, sorry for poor quality, my regular phone broke so this picture was taken with an ancient phone.
As usual Byron was very helpful and communicative throughout the delivery process.
I absolutely adore my new cacti. They are so cute.
They arrived quickly and in great condition.
I would definitely recommend Trichocereus UK to anyone interested in cacti
