Lophophora diffusa Seeds
(False Peyote)

Lophophora diffusa is a rare and fascinating species in the Lophophora genus, often referred to as "False Peyote." Native to the limestone hills of central Mexico, this spineless cactus is prized for its smooth, rounded body, pale green to yellowish-green coloration, and subtle, almost translucent appearance.

Unlike Lophophora williamsii, L. diffusa contains minimal mescaline and is mainly sought after by collectors for its unique aesthetic, rarity, and botanical significance. It produces delicate white to yellowish flowers and thrives under the same conditions as other Lophophora species—making it a must-have for serious cactus enthusiasts and conservation-minded growers.

Features:

• Genuine Lophophora diffusa seeds
• Rare and slow-growing species with smooth, rounded ribs
• Subtle green tones with white/yellow flowers in maturity
• Ideal for collectors, researchers, and dry-climate gardens

Germination Tips:

1. Soil Mix: Use a sterile, well-draining mix—combine cactus soil with pumice, perlite, and sand.
2. Sowing: Press seeds gently into the surface of moist soil. Do not bury them—exposure to light helps germination.
3. Humidity & Light: Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap. Place in bright, indirect light or under grow lights.
4. Temperature: Maintain 22–28°C (72–82°F) for best results. A seedling heat mat can be helpful.
5. Watering: Mist gently to keep the soil surface moist, not wet. Avoid standing water.
6. Timeframe: Germination may take 1–4 weeks. Patience is key with this slow-growing species.

Once established, L. diffusa makes a beautiful and uncommon addition to any cactus or ethnobotanical collection.
