Dear Lyn, I have recently discovered the amazing world of succulents! Through trying to educate myself I watched MANY videos. I am compelled to contact you and tell you how happy I am that I, also, discovered your channel on RUclips! I seem to only watch your videos now because they are everything we (the uninformed) need and want them to be! You are absolutely lovely and such a joy to watch, not to mention how wonderfully you share your knowledge! I have watched so many of your videos that I have completely over inundated my mind and can’t keep all the info straight! I’m taking notes now! Lol! I really just wanted to reach out to you and tell you that you have given me the inspiration to try and nurture these beautiful displays of nature (succulents)! I had so very badly misunderstood them and feared them, yet was always drawn to them. It felt as a curse to love something just to kill it… how awful! I hope now, with your help, I can do right by them and I will be looking to you for knowledge. Congratulations to you and Hans! He is simply wonderful as well! I’ve not delved into cactus just yet but ALL the information is so very useful. Lyn, you are a pleasure and I look forward to whatever it is you have coming next for us! I just love your aura!

Hi Lyn, thanks for your most helpful and upbeat videos. I planted five seeds in December 2016 and they all germinated.

Thats wonderful that you have grown Lophophora successfully from seed too :-D and the fungus gnats are sucha pain and I have had them eat the roots on some of my seedlings too, keeping them druer is definitely the best prevention and cure for these pests as they hate dry soil and the grubs that eat the roots on young seedlings can't survive in drier soil :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you tons of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER your way for a FANTASTIC Thursday XXXX

Great looking seedlings! I love the way they grow together in clumps or colonies. Sooo...what would MSRP be on seedlings that size?? Asking for a friend.
I have a little pup and it’s my first and only plant and it’s a bit soft and tender is that normal or should they be solid and firm? Looks fine and the root seems good and has no bad smell. He’s just a little bit soft on the top. Any opinion or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Keihan :-D thats wonderful news you have a little pup of Lophophora :-D yes the good news is that its normal for them to feel soft and tender to the touch especially when they are still small, and if there is no signs of rot it will be absolutely fine, they will firm up as they grow wider and mature, Good luck with your Pup and thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

Hello happy lady Lynne, I have a couple that are slightly larger that need repotting. But quite a lot of the soil from pot I'm transferring from is heavily compacted to the plant. I don't want to damage the root system, can I bring over what is attached into the bigger pot or should it be removed? The new soil mix I have has been watered and allowed to drain but not dry as the mix you are using here, it's only moist but will that be ok? Thanks for any advice in advance.
Not sure if you will see this comment, but I recently put my peyote cactus in my green house after buying one in Vancouver Canada, it had no natural sunlight and never dropped below 20-25 C. I put it in my greenhouse this may as it gets mostly direct sunlight and temperatures of 30-43 C. In the day and 20 C. At night...my question is I have noticed red around the bottom of it, is this too much sun, too much water, too much heat/humidity, cold stress from night, maybe not enough light. I'm at loss, and I'd hate too destroy it as these are hard to find where I am...please help?
I love you videos and all your cactuses and I love you voice and you probably have several beautiful forks and well as a gorgeous assortment of spoons. I ate a handful of gravel once when I was young but right now I can NOT stop farting in my pants. I’m wearing someone else’s pants tho. Thanks
Curious on how I can get into the Lophophora Williamsii growing game! I’m having difficulty finding where to purchase some seeds or seedlings! Thanks if you can help!
Hi Zachary :-D you could try cactusshed.co.uk and cactusshop.co.uk and Uhligkakteen.com and Kaktenhaage.com they should have some Lophophora for sale XXXXX

I grew Lophophora from seed many years back. Had a similar result to the video. I did exactly what she does, yet all my cacti got rotten roots and died :( Knowing what I know now, they probably could have been saved, but my point is its always a good idea to either plant into completely dry soil or leave them bare rooted for a week before repotting, to avoid any rot.
Another great update. How close are you to starting your own nursery? I love my cacti. Always hate buying them from garden centres and never knowing what variety they are. I'm also interested in growing from seed. Good luck x

I know its absolutely crazy how these beautiful cacti are banned, especially as you would have to eat a lot of them to get really high and nobody has ever died from taking it LOL! but guns are as easy to buy as a loaf of bread, craziness, I think its more to do with banning us from having our minds expanded beyond the control we are brainwashed into from birth :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle and have a fantastic day XXXXX
Yes, becuz think, to who profites criminality? Think, of course weapons are legal, if you have the money you can own nuclear, some megalomaniacs have, and, Yes becuz drugs is their greatest competitor, thats why its illegal, cuz its can change the crowd. And the crowd nurish them, drug can make rebel, selfish, and can bring on the road of money, and abitions,, and can unlock parts of the mind we were not albe to use b4, drug is one of their greatest competitor becuz very young, the poor land in it, that mean, very young it open eyes if some, very young it does make we do not follow the crowd, very young it does make we don't want to liv working for another, very young the others thing we're marginal 😅 but i keep believing, the average people, aren't 100% aware, aren't 100% theirself, aren't 100% awake, but drug... Stays something i don't want to talk about publicly, but isn't that bad sure when it comes to natural drugs, i'm agains chemical drugs, but natural its fine, becuz look, the shaman's on the amazone forest, comonly lived to 120 year old, and older, while finaly, they were doing all kinds of drugs, but they were free, healthy, out of this poisonous society
You carry on and grow them dear pal, and use the wrong label. Humans are very arrogant to outlaw a harmless little cacti. I don't recall the atom bomb being outlawed, but a tiny cacti!!!? Humans can be most contrary.
@@desertplantsofavalon have you ever bought a gun? There is a common misconception that they can be purchased easily but the fact is you have to get a background check you have to wait until it clears then you can get it . I do find it ridiculous that a cactus is illegal in it's own natural habitat but comparing it to guns was at the. Very least naive....

Lyn, Absolutely beautiful and adorable little seedlings and very informative video! I love their root structure. As a cactophile and passionate botanist living in the United States, I find it very unfortunate to be unable to grow this wonderfully unique species! Diffusa is a also a beautiful species, but it simply isn't Williamsii. Maybe someday. Shame. Have a wonderful day! Craig Ruckle
Thats such a shame that you can't grow these beauties in most parts of the states :-( thanks so much Craig for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Ireland for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
craig, diffusa is incredibly beautiful, and even people living in mexico get fooled by the identification. also, you can legally grow koehresii, fricii, and decipiens, possibly the most beautiful of all the lophophora. alberto-votechi may be available as well. get growing, you can have your cake, just don't eat it. these species will all make you ill, and williamsii is mostly a hyped fairy tale. only american indians routinely go through the ordeal of the sickness it brings. but they have very different views and look at sickness as something positive. if it was anything at all, there would be a market for it. i have never heard of anyone selling peyote even in the 60's.
I would love to give growing one of these a try, but I don't think I would be able to give them enough light. Also I think they're illegal to grow in the US.
i bought exactly that, i had some perlite and vermiculite and i mixed 1part of each together then repotted a 2yr old i bought a few months ago, i dare you to eat all that :)
haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Friday today XXXX
I came across a photo of one of these once with the binomial name. They are so FREAKING CUTE and I wanted one and then I found out what they "really" are and that I can't have one of those because everything is illegal in my country, so I'm trying to find look alikes that I can have without going to jail.
Its such a shame that these beautiful cacti are banned in U.S, a good lookalike cactus is Matucana as some of them as very smooth skinned and they produce beautiful flowers :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Hi there :-D I water my Lophs from Spring until early Fall / Autumn and only water them when the soil in their pots is dry, from Autumn / Fall I keep them dry and cool in the polytunnel with no watering at all and overwinter them at a minimum temperature of 5c / 40F XXXX
+Desert Plants of Avalon Thank you. My Lophs are 3.5 years old and are still smaller than a dime. Not sure why they are growing so slow. I only water once a month. That might be the reason.
erm, those pots don't really look deep enough. paiute likes to send its roots down deep. tall narrow pots serve best. difficult to find though. but I must say, those seedlings look very healthy. well done.
Thanks so much, they are cuties, I have potted these all up into bigger pots now as they have grown a lot since then, thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX

I read that williamsii var. fricii is a misnomer and they are actually a variation of diffusa leaving them with little to no mescaline. There were test results referenced confirming that but I couldn’t find a source for the original test results to follow up on it. Edit: and if you’re thinking about eating your cactus for mescaline there are much better ways of that that don’t involve eating multiple beautiful cacti that have been growing for so long.
I haven't any left but I am just in the process of sowing some more seeds :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a brilliant Monday XXXX
Hi Lynn, I tried your web address but it didn't work. Is it down at the minute? I think it would be wonderful to look at all your media in the one place.

That's great looking forward to seeing it. I have about twenty lophopphora. (Yours look great). They're about 12 months old and am seeing the feathered areole starting to develo on some of them. Looing forward for the tab root developing when they mature. Love the root on the mature L it's like an iceberg with most of the plant below the surface! :)
They grow sooo slowly, so, i wil not be growing peyote without having 100, 500, or 1000 seeds, i wil do that mush, cuz it take sooo long , any faster 1? For use
Hi Lisa Marie maybe you should ask somebody who grows thee plants for drugs instead of growing these plants for their beauty and I am not the one to help you with this sorry XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks for answering, u guys heart is unfounable in the people i have around of me in my country, and yes Lynn i should ask a drugger rather than you, but honestly, i've never took mescaline, and i've never seen someone with soo mush passion in plants, especialy cacti/cactus, so, i had the idea you were the ideal person to ask it to :) you even remember all their complicated names :) anyway, escuse me for asking you about the "drug" they contain, i became interested becuz of povery, someone at his peak don't need drugs, me.. its diferently.. i liv in a babylon system you know, my parents been enslaved, escuse me, and somethimes i make write faults, its becuz i'm from france, and acualy liv in belgium, i have learned english recently, i curently speak french and netherlands, so, escuse me aswel for this 🤗

haha Brian :-D lights are great for getting seedlings to grow faster :-D thanks so much for your fantastic comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER and have a wonderful Monday XXXXX
Lol at all the people trying to buy it because they think it’s illegal to grow It’s illegal to buy it for consumption and you’re solicitating on here so you already broke the law
LOL I am definitely not breaking the law just by posting up a video on these beautiful plants and I live in northern Ireland where it is perfectly legal to sell and grow in UK and Ireland as it is in mnay parts of Europe also, However it IS illegal to grow in many parts of the US : Peyote (lophophora williamsii) is Schedule I in the United States. This means it is illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) without a DEA license XXXX
I was amazed by their size too, mine grow a lot slower but i think it is because i m to scared for root rot and feed them not enough water. They like limestone based soil, so my guess some calcite would be appreciated by them , i always use a little marl in their soil.
I m not sure but my gut feeling tells me that the % available calcium in chalk is higher than in marble, marl or other limestone-types. In small amounts maybe it is ok but it is safer to stick with some kind of limestone I think.

For them to seed do you need to pollinate them with another flowering lop? ❤
Hi :-D the good news is Lophohora is self pollinating and will set seeds on their own, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank You, and wishing you all the same :)

Was it easy to grow them from seed?
Hi Melissa :-D yes they are easy to grow from seed, here is a video I have made on on How to grow Cacti from seed: ruclips.net/video/GJ0E91skZXI/видео.html thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend XXXX
Loved the video. I just received 3 little individually potted buttons that look like those and have absolutely no idea how to care for them!
Thank you so much :-D here is a link to a Lophophora care video I have made on how to grow and care for these wonderful cacti :-D ruclips.net/video/jILwVx6KuWM/видео.html thats wonderful you have received some of these cacti too :-D XXXXX
Thanks! Any advice on watering baby peyotes?
Hi :-D yes always let the soil dry out in between watering them from Spring and Summer, but leave them dry over the Winter months, good luck with rowing these cuties XXXXX :-D
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks!❤❤❤❤
Peace love white dove!
XXXXX 🥰🌵
I'm in America and I can easily buy a gun from the shop just up the street but these are illegal! 🤔 pretty silly right?
I know its absolutely crazy how these beautiful cacti are banned, especially as you would have to eat a lot of them to get really high and nobody has ever died from taking it LOL! but guns are as easy to buy as a loaf of bread, craziness, I think its more to do with banning us from having our minds expanded beyond the control we are brainwashed into from birth :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle and have a fantastic day XXXXX
Yes, becuz think, to who profites criminality? Think, of course weapons are legal, if you have the money you can own nuclear, some megalomaniacs have, and, Yes becuz drugs is their greatest competitor, thats why its illegal, cuz its can change the crowd. And the crowd nurish them, drug can make rebel, selfish, and can bring on the road of money, and abitions,, and can unlock parts of the mind we were not albe to use b4, drug is one of their greatest competitor becuz very young, the poor land in it, that mean, very young it open eyes if some, very young it does make we do not follow the crowd, very young it does make we don't want to liv working for another, very young the others thing we're marginal 😅 but i keep believing, the average people, aren't 100% aware, aren't 100% theirself, aren't 100% awake, but drug... Stays something i don't want to talk about publicly, but isn't that bad sure when it comes to natural drugs, i'm agains chemical drugs, but natural its fine, becuz look, the shaman's on the amazone forest, comonly lived to 120 year old, and older, while finaly, they were doing all kinds of drugs, but they were free, healthy, out of this poisonous society
You carry on and grow them dear pal, and use the wrong label. Humans are very arrogant to outlaw a harmless little cacti. I don't recall the atom bomb being outlawed, but a tiny cacti!!!? Humans can be most contrary.
@@desertplantsofavalon have you ever bought a gun? There is a common misconception that they can be purchased easily but the fact is you have to get a background check you have to wait until it clears then you can get it . I do find it ridiculous that a cactus is illegal in it's own natural habitat but comparing it to guns was at the. Very least naive....
@@lisemariecaron7498 dude lay off the drugs .....
Can I buy one of those beautiful Lophophora, I can never find any?
During germination, at what month do you begin to open the ziploc bag? 3 months or 5?
Hi there :-D after 3 months its best to open up the zip lock bag but you can leave them in the bags longer than this if they are still small :-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

so tiny 2 years old baby. after how long it gives flowers .

How do you plant lophorphora cuttings using growth hormone?
Hi there :-D I have never taken cuttings of Lophophora and would not be the best to advise you on it, so sorry about that, XXXXx
@@desertplantsofavalon they were gifted to me.
Lyn,
Absolutely beautiful and adorable little seedlings and very informative video! I love their root structure. As a cactophile and passionate botanist living in the United States, I find it very unfortunate to be unable to grow this wonderfully unique species! Diffusa is a also a beautiful species, but it simply isn't Williamsii. Maybe someday. Shame.
Have a wonderful day!
Craig Ruckle
Thats such a shame that you can't grow these beauties in most parts of the states :-( thanks so much Craig for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Ireland for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
craig, diffusa is incredibly beautiful, and even people living in mexico get fooled by the identification. also, you can legally grow koehresii, fricii, and decipiens, possibly the most beautiful of all the lophophora. alberto-votechi may be available as well. get growing, you can have your cake, just don't eat it. these species will all make you ill, and williamsii is mostly a hyped fairy tale. only american indians routinely go through the ordeal of the sickness it brings. but they have very different views and look at sickness as something positive. if it was anything at all, there would be a market for it. i have never heard of anyone selling peyote even in the 60's.
I enjoyed it. Thank you
So happy you enjoyed the video :-D and thank you so much for watching and your wonderful comment XXXX
Nicely done again Lyn, how old are the seedlings!
I would love to give growing one of these a try, but I don't think I would be able to give them enough light.
Also I think they're illegal to grow in the US.
Levy Wilson they actually need shade and prefer less light. Not full sun...
Do you have Bridgesii Monstrose??? :)
i bought exactly that, i had some perlite and vermiculite and i mixed 1part of each together then repotted a 2yr old i bought a few months ago, i dare you to eat all that :)
haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Friday today XXXX
Very nice
I came across a photo of one of these once with the binomial name. They are so FREAKING CUTE and I wanted one and then I found out what they "really" are and that I can't have one of those because everything is illegal in my country, so I'm trying to find look alikes that I can have without going to jail.
Its such a shame that these beautiful cacti are banned in U.S, a good lookalike cactus is Matucana as some of them as very smooth skinned and they produce beautiful flowers :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
How often do you water your Loph's?
Hi there :-D I water my Lophs from Spring until early Fall / Autumn and only water them when the soil in their pots is dry, from Autumn / Fall I keep them dry and cool in the polytunnel with no watering at all and overwinter them at a minimum temperature of 5c / 40F XXXX
+Desert Plants of Avalon Thank you. My Lophs are 3.5 years old and are still smaller than a dime. Not sure why they are growing so slow. I only water once a month. That might be the reason.
🤗🤗🤗
Desert plants do you eat the lophophora?
erm, those pots don't really look deep enough. paiute likes to send its roots down deep. tall narrow pots serve best. difficult to find though. but I must say, those seedlings look very healthy. well done.
Thanks so much, they are cuties, I have potted these all up into bigger pots now as they have grown a lot since then, thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX
how old were they born?
Hi :-D they were about three years old in the video, cuties, thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Sunday XXXX

Does my Lophophora Williamsi var. Fricii contain mescaline?
Hi there :-D I am not sure as I dont know anything about the mescaline levels in these plants sorry XXXXX
I read that williamsii var. fricii is a misnomer and they are actually a variation of diffusa leaving them with little to no mescaline. There were test results referenced confirming that but I couldn’t find a source for the original test results to follow up on it.
Edit: and if you’re thinking about eating your cactus for mescaline there are much better ways of that that don’t involve eating multiple beautiful cacti that have been growing for so long.
Hey Lyn =) Do you have any tiny babies left?
I haven't any left but I am just in the process of sowing some more seeds :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a brilliant Monday XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon that is wonderful news:)
Hi Lynn, I tried your web address but it didn't work. Is it down at the minute? I think it would be wonderful to look at all your media in the one place.
Hi there :-D yes I am working on the website at the moment as I am updating a few things on there, but fingers crossed it should be up and running again in the next week or two :-D thanks so much for watching and sending tons of love and happiness for a brilliant Wednesday today XXXXX
That's great looking forward to seeing it. I have about twenty lophopphora. (Yours look great). They're about 12 months old and am seeing the feathered areole starting to develo on some of them. Looing forward for the tab root developing when they mature. Love the root on the mature L it's like an iceberg with most of the plant below the surface! :)
Nice
Thank you so much, and thanks so much for watching XXXX
I want to buy you a couple of those Peyotes, for school science experimental home work ;-)
EXCUS ME, would you send to me one of your Williamsi ( if is not Diffusa), here to Russia.?
They grow sooo slowly, so, i wil not be growing peyote without having 100, 500, or 1000 seeds, i wil do that mush, cuz it take sooo long , any faster 1? For use
Hi Lisa Marie maybe you should ask somebody who grows thee plants for drugs instead of growing these plants for their beauty and I am not the one to help you with this sorry XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks for answering, u guys heart is unfounable in the people i have around of me in my country, and yes Lynn i should ask a drugger rather than you, but honestly, i've never took mescaline, and i've never seen someone with soo mush passion in plants, especialy cacti/cactus, so, i had the idea you were the ideal person to ask it to :) you even remember all their complicated names :) anyway, escuse me for asking you about the "drug" they contain, i became interested becuz of povery, someone at his peak don't need drugs, me.. its diferently.. i liv in a babylon system you know, my parents been enslaved, escuse me, and somethimes i make write faults, its becuz i'm from france, and acualy liv in belgium, i have learned english recently, i curently speak french and netherlands, so, escuse me aswel for this 🤗

Great video. Cute plants. Beautiful, loves cactus, wears a crystal necklace, um dream woman will you marry me! 37 from Kansas we can make it work ;)
hahahahaha :-D thanks for watching :-D
Lol at all the people trying to buy it because they think it’s illegal to grow
It’s illegal to buy it for consumption and you’re solicitating on here so you already broke the law
LOL I am definitely not breaking the law just by posting up a video on these beautiful plants and I live in northern Ireland where it is perfectly legal to sell and grow in UK and Ireland as it is in mnay parts of Europe also, However it IS illegal to grow in many parts of the US : Peyote (lophophora williamsii) is Schedule I in the United States. This means it is illegal to manufacture, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) without a DEA license XXXX
can i get one
beautiful lol
Peyote?
Hi Debbie :-D yes these Cacti are known as 'the Peyote Cactus'thanks so much for watching XXXX

Thank you so much for watching XXXXX
why do they call this slow growing.
For a plant thats two years old its doing great.
btw, shoul i add calcite to soil.
I was amazed by their size too,
mine grow a lot slower but i think it is because i m to scared for root rot and feed them not enough water.
They like limestone based soil, so my guess some calcite would be appreciated by them , i always use a little marl in their soil.
Would chalk work(you know, for black board)?
I m not sure but my gut feeling tells me that the % available calcium in chalk is higher than in marble, marl or other limestone-types.
In small amounts maybe it is ok but it is safer to stick with some kind of limestone I think.
Was think of grinding it to dust and mixing it with the sand.
Cactus Power!!!.. \(^o^)/\(^o^)/
Isnt it silly that cactus is ilegal in US😂
I know it is crazy its such a beautiful cactus
They look great but you talk way to much
Ur arms are like a guys arms
