Lophophora Williamsii Caespitosa 10cm Cacti – Rare Clumping Variant | Ethically Propagated

Introduction / Product Overview

Lophophora williamsii Caespitosa at 10cm represents the pinnacle of clumping peyote cultivation, featuring dramatic caespitose growth with 8-12 tightly packed heads forming a spectacular mound. This mature specimen appeals to serious cactus collectors, researchers, and horticulturists building elite “rare peyote cactus” collections. Ethical propagation preserves the coveted clustering genetics for museum-quality display.

What’s Included in the Package

• One premium L.W Caespitosa cactus cluster, 10cm total diameter.

• 5-inch ceramic pot with optimized mineral cactus soil mix.

• Detailed cluster identification label with pup count and care essentials.

• Custom foam cradling and climate-controlled shipping container.

Plant Size, Age & Growth Stage Explained

This 10cm cluster represents a mature 10-15 year-old plant at peak caespitose development, with 8-12 heads forming dense hemispherical mound. L.W caespitosa expands 1-3cm annually through prolific pupping; expect 15-20cm mature spread within 3-5 years. Diameter measured across widest cluster dimension.

Botanical & Physical Characteristics

• Species & Taxonomy: Lophophora williamsii f. caespitosa; Cactaceae family; true clumping peyote form.

• Form & Structure: Dense colony of 8-12 globular heads, 6-10 ribs per head, interconnected woolly crowns; spineless.

• Root System: Extensive fibrous taproot network supporting massive cluster expansion.

• Color & Texture: Uniform blue-green with heavy glaucous pruina; firm, velvety epidermis across all heads.

• Special Features: Prolific pupping habit; simultaneous pink-white flowers across mature cluster.

Cultivation & Care Overview

• Light: Maximum full sun (8+ hours daily); essential for “L.W caespitosa care” and cluster density.

• Soil: 75% inorganic drainage mix (pumice, zeolite, lava rock, perlite); prevents basal rot in dense clusters.

• Water: Controlled bi-weekly summer watering; complete winter drought critical for cluster health.

• Temperature: 80-100°F growth optimum, 45°F minimum; excellent heat tolerance once established.

• Humidity: Very low (10-25%); superior air circulation prevents central cluster fungal issues.

Benefits & Use Cases

Creates breathtaking living sculptures for rock gardens, greenhouses, or premium collector displays with natural clustering progression. Ideal for propagation research, clustering genetics study, and comprehensive Lophophora morphology collections. Instant collection centerpiece with ongoing pupping spectacle.
