When I took them out of the box all wrapped in paper, I thought, the plants I bought weren't that big... :) The knife was made by a friend of mine. But it is better to carve wood than to open boxes.
They have a very nice geometry. Unfortunately, one of these two is not of the variety it should be. Namely the one that bloomed. I found the characteristics of the flower strange and when it produced fruit without being pollinated I had confirmation. Some of the seed varieties I bought from the same person are also suspect but I only be able to confirm when they produce flower. It's not that I'm too upset about it, as I have more of this variety bought from trusted people, but I've removed this seller's name from my list.I'm not saying he's dishonest, but at the very least he's incompetent.
I seriously think you need some more soil/compost material in there instead of just gravel and sand. I grow Lophophora in uk and had four plants for nearly 30 years now. My soil mix is half compost and loam with the rest free draining aggregate from around 6mm down to sand. I water about weekly during mid spring onwards and in autumn cut down to once a month then during actual winter not at all until early spring
Hola, yo soy de Portugal, en el caso de estas dos plantas en particular, no voy a divulgar el origen, ya que al menos una de ellas no parece ser la variedad anunciada, ya que resultó ser autofertil. Hasta que aclare el problema con el vendedor, no lo revelaré. Uhlig kakteen vende a veces. Tuvieron algunos diffusa hace unos días pero se agotan rápidamente.

It depends, if the plants have the roots intact I wait two weeks and water, as long as it has enough temperature. If the roots are trimmed, I pot them in a light, airy substrate like pumice or perlite and wait for new roots to appear. When this happens, I repot in the usual substrate and water a week or two later. In the case of plants purchased in autumn/winter, I pot and wait for spring.
@@jamesendo-endorealestategr2745 The plants I have on my balcony, I water when I know I will have 4 or 5 days of sun. As the space is covered by glass, during the day the temperature could range from 30°C to 50°C in summer. I haven’t started watering this year yet. The temperature should allow the substrate to dry within a few days. As I live in a place with very dry summers, this is not a problem. Cultivation methods must be adapted to the existing conditions. The plants I have indoors (seedlings), I keep at temperatures of around 30°C all year round and I water weekly.
@@lophoflora Thanks. I'm trying to figure out when to water and where to put them where I dont have to move them with the seasons. I have temps down to damp -2.22c in winter and highs of 44.44c dry in the summer. Thanks for the helpful info and continue to look forward to your videos!!!
@@lophoflora Hi, I don't mean to piggyback off James' comment but I recently got two plants in the mail. Both of their roots were trimmed. Any idea how long it takes for new roots to grow. I'm just not used to NOT watering my plants for such a long time 😅 these are my first lophs and I want to make sure they stay happy and healthy for a long time.
Thanks. My substrates contain: pumice, lava, zeolite, crushed expanded clay, sand, shale, akadama, worm castings, in different grain sizes and proportions suitable for each plant. I have other more "exotic" mineral types but I haven't used them on Lophophora. Very hot summers and some winter cold help to maintain a natural shape.
You are in the United States, I cannot help you. But if you want to buy plants from a specific location, go to trusted producers. The person who sold me these two deceived me, the plant that flowered in the video is the northern variety, not huizache. He also sold me seeds of Lophophora alberto-vojtechii "Nuevo Leon", and the plants turn out to be L williamsii.
Hi, I used a mixture of two substrates that I buy from a nursery. The one I used in greater quantity is composed of: pumice, zeolite, lava. The other contains: pumice, zeolite, lava, crushed expanded clay, sand and, eventually, some bits of shale. I also added extra pumice and some akadama. The mixture that covers the roots contains a little bit of worm castings. After repot them, I regretted not having put some of the substrate where they came in. To move to the new substrate some of the microorganisms that cohabited with the plants.
If by peyote you mean the species Lophophora williamsii, yes they all have C11H17NO3 and you never know how much. Also, bear in mind that there are 4 other species of Lophophora, which you need to know how to identify, and some of those produce potentially lethal chemicals. I am not an apologist for the consumption of these endangered plants.
I think it depends on where you are on the globe. The harder they are to obtain, the more expensive they are. These cost me 24 euros each plus postage.
Soil looks like a nice mix! Those will be some happy plants.
very well wrapped. Nice knife too.

I don't know how i missed this one! I got a batch of those right now!!!

Thank you for the idea
Most welcome 😊
Looks like they just put them into pots the roots are dry & look like bare rooted plants.
Very nice plants tho
Yep. I think they buy and resell...

I water about weekly during mid spring onwards and in autumn cut down to once a month then during actual winter not at all until early spring
I use liquid fertilizer on plants that are in purely mineral substrate, and worm castings on younger plants.
where have you buy this?
😍
👍👍👍
are huisache activé too?
Was that just water that you brushed on them?
I just wiped off the dust with a dry brush.
The link?
Could you tell me which store in Germany is it? I am Spanish and I have been growing from seeds for years. And those look great

Nice Lophs. How soon do you water after repotting plant mail? Thanks.
It depends, if the plants have the roots intact I wait two weeks and water, as long as it has enough temperature.

Your plants look great. What is your medium made up of?

What is in your soil mix???
Hi, I used a mixture of two substrates that I buy from a nursery. The one I used in greater quantity is composed of: pumice, zeolite, lava.

Honest question, are these psychedelic? Or is all peyote psychedelic?
If by peyote you mean the species Lophophora williamsii, yes they all have C11H17NO3 and you never know how much. Also, bear in mind that there are 4 other species of Lophophora, which you need to know how to identify, and some of those produce potentially lethal chemicals.
I am not an apologist for the consumption of these endangered plants.
What would a person have to pay for these?
I think it depends on where you are on the globe. The harder they are to obtain, the more expensive they are. These cost me 24 euros each plus postage.
I am sri lankan can i buy this cactus varieties
There are people cultivating Lophophora in Sri Lanka certainly.
