3 L.Fricii 3 to 4 cm Cacti – Rare Mexican Variant | Ethically Propagated

Introduction / Product Overview

Lophophora fricii at 3-4cm represents the true southern Mexico peyote species, distinguished by its compact habit, fine ribbing, and limestone-adapted morphology—highly prized by regional specialists and researchers. This carefully selected 3-pack offers matched juvenile specimens for building comprehensive “rare peyote cactus” collections focused on Lophophora diversity. Ethical propagation preserves authentic Mexican genetics for purist cultivation.

What’s Included in the Package

• Three (3) premium L.Fricii cactus seedlings, each 3-4cm diameter.

• Individual 3-inch terracotta pots with limestone cactus soil mix.

• Species identification labels with locality and matched-set numbering.

• Protective foam tray system and climate-controlled shipping container.

Plant Size, Age & Growth Stage Explained

These 3-4cm seedlings represent vigorous 3-5 year-old plants in optimal juvenile establishment phase, showing characteristic fine ribbing and compact form. L.fricii grows slowly at 1-1.5cm annually, reaching mature 6-9cm size in 5-8 years. Each plant measured precisely; matched for uniform collection display.

Botanical & Physical Characteristics

• Species & Taxonomy: Lophophora fricii (Habermann); Cactaceae family; true Mexican peyote species.

• Form & Structure: Compact globular, 10-16 fine ribs, shallowly notched, dense woolly apex; spineless.

• Root System: Turnip-shaped taproot adapted to calcareous limestone soils.

• Color & Texture: Grey-green to chalky epidermis with moderate glaucous bloom; smooth waxy surface.

• Special Features: Finer ribbing than L.williamsii; small white-pink flowers; habitat-specific tuberculation.

Cultivation & Care Overview

• Light: Bright full sun (6-8 hours); develops tight form in “L.fricii care” mimicking Chihuahuan habitat.

• Soil: 65% limestone-based mix (caliche, pumice, perlite); replicates native Mexican drainage.

• Water: Bi-weekly moderate watering in growth season; extended winter drought essential.

• Temperature: 75-95°F optimum, 48°F minimum; excellent limestone soil heat retention.

• Humidity: Low (20-35%); good ventilation prevents fine-rib rot in juveniles.
