Lophophora williamsii var. decipiens – Specimen Selection

Overview

This is a draft listing for a mature Lophophora williamsii var. decipiens specimen with a broad, glaucous main crown and offsets around the base. The plant has strong old-boy character, a woolly central crown, and the softer, slightly undulating rib expression often associated with decipiens forms.

This variable listing uses the Specimen attribute so future plants can be added cleanly.

Grower Notes

All plants in this update have been grown in our UK greenhouse in strong natural light, with full sun where appropriate and shading during heatwaves. They are grown hard in a mineral-heavy cactus mix with good airflow, careful watering, and a dry winter rest.

Sent bare root unless otherwise stated. Please allow for normal seasonal changes in colour, firmness, flower remains, wool, and minor cosmetic marks on mature Lophophora.

Collector Appeal

A chunky, characterful decipiens-form plant with mature texture and enough offset growth to feel like a one-off specimen rather than a generic single head.
