Lophophora fricii Seeds
(Fric’s Peyote)
Lophophora fricii is a rare and captivating species within the Lophophora genus, native to the semi-desert regions of northeastern Mexico. Known for its pale, pinkish-green to bluish-gray body and its distinctive, almost wavy ribs, this species stands out with a unique beauty. It produces stunning pink to magenta flowers and is highly prized among collectors for its rarity, form, and subtle coloration.
Unlike Lophophora williamsii, L. fricii has a slightly different alkaloid profile and is mainly sought after for ornamental and botanical purposes. Its slow-growing nature and compact size make it an excellent addition to any succulent or cactus collection, especially for those who appreciate rare, slow-growing species.

- Produces vibrant pink to magenta flowers
- Perfect for cactus collectors, ethnobotanical gardens, and enthusiasts of rare plants
Germination Tips:
- Soil Mix: Use a well-draining, sterilized cactus mix with perlite or pumice and fine sand.
- Sowing: Gently press seeds onto the surface of moist soil. Do not bury—exposure to light supports germination.
- Humidity & Light: Cover with clear plastic or a humidity dome. Place in bright, indirect light or under grow lights.
- Temperature: Keep between 22–28°C (72–82°F) for optimal germination.
- Watering: Mist the surface to keep it moist but never soggy. Avoid waterlogging.
- Timeframe: Germination typically occurs within 1–4 weeks. Be patient—Lophophora species are slow to start but well worth the wait.
