Lophophora williamsii v. texana
Peyote - San Pedro cactus
Description
Lophophora williamsii var. texana, commonly known as Peyote, is a spineless cactus with a distinct button-like appearance. This slow-growing succulent is known for its psychoactive properties, stemming from the presence of mescaline. The plant features small, rounded, blue-green to grey-green stems or buttons that are usually 2-6 cm in diameter. It produces woolly areoles and small, pink flowers. These cacti prefer well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight, making them suitable for cultivation in arid environments. Propagation is typically achieved through seeds or offsets, if available. Handle with caution and be aware of any legal restrictions regarding its cultivation and use, as possession can be strictly regulated.
