Where it grows
Range restricted species that only occurs in an isolated area of northern Mexico.
Special features
This species of Lophophora closely resembles Lophophora williamsii, but differs in that the ribs tend to form quite attractive geometric shapes. It is considered by some to be a subvariety of Lophophora williamsii, or a hybrid of Lophophora williamsii and Lophophora fricii. It has attractive light pink flowers in late summer.
Care guide
This cactus should be kept under at least 40% shade cloth to avoid sunburn. They have incredibly large and thick taproots, and should be planted in a deep pot with gritty soil to accommodate these roots. Water them well during the summer months, but keep utterly dry during the colder times of the year, as they require a rest period to flower. If you want to encourage the formation of more white hair on the stem, only water from the bottom.
Growing season
Spring and summer.
Propagation
Seeds and offsets.
