Lophophora williamsii Crest – Stacked Form

Overview

This is a crested (cristate) form of Lophophora williamsii, displaying an unusual stacked growth pattern, where the crest develops in layered, segmented folds rather than a flowing or clustered form.

The result is a compact, architectural structure with a strong central line and clearly defined sections, giving the plant a bold, almost sculpted appearance.

Specimen Details

• Form: Stacked / Segmented Crest formation
• Size: 6–7 cm across
• Root system: Own roots

What Makes This One Special

This specimen stands out due to its:

• Distinct stacked, layered crest structure
• Strong symmetry and defined central axis
• Thick, mature growth with excellent presence

Crested Lophophora of this size and form are slow to develop and increasingly difficult to source, particularly with this level of structure and definition.

Grower Notes

Best suited to stable greenhouse conditions with good airflow and careful watering.

Crested Lophophora can be slightly more sensitive than standard forms, particularly to overwatering, but will continue to develop increasingly defined and complex shapes over time.

Collector Appeal

Ideal for collectors looking for:

• Structured, architectural crest formations
• Mature, well-developed specimens
• Rare and visually distinctive plants
