Ideal for the patient cultivator building comprehensive collections, the preservationist safeguarding habitat-specific genetics, or the researcher studying Lophophora ecotypes. Embark on the propagation journey with these fresh Lophophora fricii seeds capturing Viesca lagoon flats, San Pedro limestone hills, and xerophyllous scrub plains.

What’s Included in Your Order

• Premium Lophophora fricii seeds from 3 Coahuila habitats (quantity selected at purchase).

• Sealed in a protective, labeled viability packet to maintain freshness.

• Detailed germination guide (digital PDF download link provided with order).

Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Sourced from open-pollinated seeds of curated ex-situ mother plants replicating three key Coahuila habitats—Viesca lagoon flats, San Pedro limestone hills, and xerophyllous scrub plains—grown sustainably to protect wild populations. “Fresh harvest” means seeds collected within the last 3 months for 80%+ viability under ideal conditions. Each habitat yields distinct genetics: lagoon forms show mutable clustering, hill forms exhibit flatter profiles, scrub variants display robust ribbing; germination 70-90% influenced by sterility and temperature—batch-tested for diversity.

Botanical & Seed Characteristics

• Species & Origin: Lophophora fricii from 3 Coahuila habitats—Viesca lagoon (alluvial flats), San Pedro (limestone hills), xerophyllous plains (mesquite/agave scrub).

• Seed Appearance: Tiny (1-1.5mm), black, papillate with V-shaped hilum across habitats, subtle testa variation by locality.

• Dormancy: Moderate; cold stratification (4 weeks at 4°C) or GA3 soak recommended for all forms.

• Storage Advice: Cool (4-10°C), dark, dry in packet; viable 3+ years sealed.

Germination & Cultivation Guide

Recommended Method

“Takeaway Tek” or humidity dome tailored for polymorphic L. fricii.

Substrate & Sowing

Sterile cactus mix (70% perlite/pumice, 20% coir, 10% akadama); surface sow (light required), 0.5cm spacing.

Environment

18-25°C days/10-15°C nights, bright indirect light or 14h grow lights, 80-90% humidity under dome.

Timeline

Germination 14-42 days; up to 8 weeks, habitat forms showing variable speeds.

Aftercare

Ventilate post-germination; bottom-water sparingly, mimic dry Chihuahuan cycles for authentic growth.

Benefits & Use Cases

• Propagation & Cultivation: Compare lagoon clustering vs. hill flattening vs. scrub robustness in parallel grows.

• Genetic Preservation: Maintain three Coahuila ecotypes ex-situ, capturing L. fricii polymorphism.

• Educational Value: Study habitat-driven morphology, from mutable plains to montane forms.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Access wild diversity affordably versus multiple single-locality packets.
