This thread is for the most sacred of all cacti.
Anything you ever wanted to ask about the Lophophora genus, ask here.
If you got a scratch on your button and want to post a pic of it, go for it.
If you have a nagging suspicion about something, nag about it here.
If you just want to show off your beauty, do it here.
This is gonna be where Loph Growers Unite!

that kk242 has to be the best for speed if you don't mind the weird look and all those pups.
i will likely end up cutting the pups off and let them root in their own pot.

i like my mix very well and does a good job of drainage.
coco coir, perlite, and diatamaceos earth from your local autozone. its the absorbent kind.
i absolutely love this soil and so do most plants. not just my cacti. this is one i love.
others add gravel or limestome to the mix and that also helps too.

its the oil absorbant little rocks in the big bag. its about 5bucks and good for all types of uses. its called Ultrasorb Oil Absorbant.
"%100 diatamaceous earth". google this "uses for diatamaceous earth"
its kills and and fleas and ticks and those dreaded gnats. they way i see it. when it dries out, its at its most useful. kills little pest by drying them up.
when watered they absorb good amounst of moisture.
my avatar was changed because that is who i am an iron roughneck. it breaks drill pipe with tungsten carbide teeth.
i'm a damn roughneck you see. and in no way affiliated with BP.
anywho, here are some grafts i have made this year.
bottomlefthand corner is for KBG. its the astro graft that snuck into the pic. way off subject.

others
  
crested graft. loph also.

i stepped on this guy when i transplanted it. it had no pups and i though it was a gonner. lo and behold it put out, and FTW, 5 pups.

mostly_harmless those are some fantastic lophs my man. are they seed grown? or did you buy them like that?
those are a great age. i bet you get many flowers from them.
i had a dream that i was harvesting seeds from one of my plants. i did not expect many seeds but i got a huge pile of them. then i threw them on the ground and they grew.
i really have to curb my alcohol intake.

nice and beautiful tap roots.
i may be the only fool on here that gets excited seeing that.
edit- try and get some clay pots. nothing against plastic but clay pots seem to wick away water much better. just a tip.
