    All the more surprised because I thought it would need cross pollination before you got it!

    I have got about 100 to 150 pups and big ones around ten years old, mostly grown indoors, the bigger ones are around 6 cm diameter, and have flowered both white and pink, and produced the little pinkish fruits, which are supposedly edible, never actually tasted them though. I have never bothered to collect the seeds because my plants seem to EXPLODE with pups after a very weak dose of fertilizer in the summer. In the wild, they are or rather can be very slow growing, like say taking sometimes up to 30 YEARS to get to around 6 cm diameter. But in captivity, proper soil and water and special fertilizer with low nitrogen high phosphorus, limited U.V. exposure they grow heaps faster, there are many strains of this species, and some superficial differences.

    They look very healthy, thanks for the nice vid, they are beautiful and i love the shaggy look of the ones you have.
    The ones i have look even after many years , more like the smaller ones you showed, not in size but
    yours are much furrier.
    Mine bloom constantly and don t need to be pollinated ,probably because they get pollinated by the garden critters
    and i read in some book about cacti that there are several species of lophophora and even the l.williamsi has subspecies
    I did also read about hippies growing them for the mescaline , and that it lacks the mescaline it s grown for,
    they only seem to produce much mescaline wen they grow in strong desert sunlight.
    So those hippies ended up with a lovely plant instead of going down rabbit holes, lol!
    After seeing this vid i m starting to wonder if i have some other kind of lophophora or a subspecies.
    i m not sure if there is information about it on the web, but i m going to search for it,
    do you maybe know about a website that has good determination info about peyote cacti?

      Thanks for this link , i m going to check it out immediatly!
      Have a very fine and sunny Tuesday too! Over here the weather is still good enough for several hours of direct full sunlight and even the bananas in the garden are stil growing.

    I got some orange rot on some of my lophos. Plus when I look closely I see little holes in the skin that look like pin pricks. I believe those are spider mites. Anyway I took them out and gave them a good shower. I also ordered some neem oil. I was wondering if that will take care of the orange rot as well as the mites? One of the cactuses infected are almost 20 years old. I definitely can't loose that one.

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  7 років тому

      So sorry to hear about your Lophs, Lophophora can be very prone to Spider mites and they often come down with orange spots that can be more of an aesthetic problem than being harmful, and sometimes they can form an orange rust like discoloration as they age from the base, especially with older plants but if the orange rot is at the base of your plant and it feels soft you may need to do an emergency cut to save the top part and treat it as a cutting, here is a link to a video I made on how to save a cactus from rot,ua-cam.com/video/UM6imgsh4Gg/v-deo.html but its difficult to say without pics, hope it gets sorted for you and your plants will be ok :-) sending lots of love and happy groowing from Ireland and have a fantastic Friday XXXX

    how old was your oldest 'williamsii' before harvesting the seeds? ie. how long do you let them dry before harvest??
    _thanks,

      @desertplantsofavalon  6 років тому

      Hi Jordan :-D I wait until the fruit pod is bright pink and fleshy and is easy to remove from the plant before harvesting, you can harvest the seeds directly after removing the fruit pod, the oldest Williamsii is about 20 years old :-D they are slow growing but should flower and set seed within 5 years of growing from seed :-D thanks so much for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful weekend XXXX

      Thanks so much Joe or your wonderful comment :-) yes sterilizing the soil is optional and you don't have to do this and many growers have great success without microwaving the soil, but microwaving the soil helps to prevent fungal attack, but your seedlings may be absolutely fine :-) thanks a million for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a FANTASTIC Sunday today XXXXX

    If you dry the seed pods for a day or two the seeds will not stick to your finger. Or does their viability go down if you dry them?

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  4 роки тому +2

      Hi there :-D the good news is that the seeds don't lose their viability if you dry the seed pods first, and it is easier to remove the seeds that way too, Good luck with growing from seeds and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful day XXXX
