The Lophophora williamsii, commonly known as Peyote Cactus, is a small, spineless cactus revered for its psychoactive alkaloids. This cactus has a rich history of use in religious and spiritual ceremonies, primarily by indigenous cultures in North America. Its distinct appearance, characterised by a rounded, rosette growth pattern, makes it a unique addition to any collection.
Native to: Peyote is native to the desert regions of Mexico and southwestern Texas. It thrives in arid environments with rocky soils and minimal rainfall.
Water: Water your Peyote sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as this cactus is highly susceptible to root rot in overly moist conditions. During the winter months, significantly reduce watering frequency.
Light: This cactus is ideally suited for bright light conditions. Place it in a sunny spot where it can receive ample direct sunlight. However, it can tolerate partial shade, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
Humidity: Peyote will be content in lower humidity levels. Ensure good air circulation to prevent any fungal issues, but generally, it does not require any special humidity adjustments.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 30°C for optimal growth. Peyote is quite tolerant of temperature fluctuations but should be protected from prolonged exposure to temperatures below 10°C to prevent damage.
