    Hi Guys :-D In this video I Re Pot my two old & large Lophophora williamsii Cactus Plants.

      Mine isn't growing. (lophophora) All my other cacti are very healthy.
      What are your annual temperatures? Does calcareous water stop growing?

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  4 роки тому +1

      @@Emre-K Hi Emre, these cacti are very slow growing but if your Loph has not grown at all for a while then I would check over the root system in case there are any hidden pests on the roots etc, and sometimes a fresh re pot into new cactus soil soil can give them a boost back into growth. Our annual temperatures are not great here in Northern Ireland, we are having a heatwave now but normally we get Summer temperatures around 15-24C ( 60-75F ) but our winters are very mild but wet. Yes hard water with high lime calcium and water with a high pH above 7.5 can slow down cacti growth, Lophophora are usually not as fussy as some of the cacti with hard water, but I have noticed a massive difference in my cacti since I switched over to using rainwater 7 years ago, most of the cacti like soft water or rainwater if possible, thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic day XXXX

      Lophophoras are such awesome cacti! ❤️ I love them to bits too and it’s so much more enjoyable when the Queen of Cactus and Succulents do its repotting with bits of info and care tips and interesting stories. 🥰 May I ask what do you do with the old potting mix, Lyn and Hans? Do you dispose it or revitalise and repurpose it?

    Interesting that you briefly cover some of the legal aspects of this plant. If anything, the original prohibition on peyote was predicated on grounds of racism and religious extremism rather than conservation concerns. Cattle ranching has had at least as much negative impact on Lophophora populations as drug-addles hippies have.
    Congratulations on your conservation efforts for this beautiful species!

    hi Lynn, love you channel.. thank you! I have a question, in this video, the second loph you repot seems to have old insect (spider mite?) damage, but it looks to be growing out. Does the damage peel off in flakes, which one head of the plant looks to be doing, or does it take years and years and need to grow out all the way to the base of the plant?

      Hi Graeme :-D so happy you love my channel, yes the second Loph had a bad case od Spider mite a few years ago, these cacti are very prone to spider mite attack, the good news is these cacti nearly always make a good recovery from Spider mite damage and the new grow grows from the middle of the plant, sometimes the old scaly damaged skin can flake off too, but often the skin stays scarred but the new grows will be green and come from the middle of the plant and the heads, 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
