Help me ID a cactus - Peyote I think?
    #14601196 - 06/12/11 02:19 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hi all.

I happened to snap a shot of some cacti that I thought looked very similar to peyote.  Can anyone give me a thumbs up or down to if this is peyote?

Damn out of focus pictures. :/


Thanks!

wow.  i didnt think it was.  ive only seen dried (or slightly wet) peyote, and none were that big and were a lot more domeish. though it was the peyote way church, they were kept in giant trash bags so that might have had something to do with it.

Potted deeper and more light you say?  What kind of artificial light would be beneficial?  Or does it need some good old fashioned sun shine?

You could probably supplement the light it receives already with some fluorescent tubes(T5-T8) but sunshine is better than any man made lights and it's also free. If you can position them in better light I would do so.

As for potting them deeper you want the stem that is now above ground to be buried so the base of the peyote head is resting at the soil surface. Similar to how the one in the picture below is:

a peyote cactus is a bit like a glacier, all that meat underground and just a pretty little head sticking up ready to flower (unlike a glacier, bad metaphor)

and Karode, I have red lava rock in all my cacti pots so my dog doesnt dig them up

I thought that root stock was a graft! Holy crap, I didn't think they'd grow that far out of the ground to reach light.

I challenge you to challenge yourself more! When you feel complacent and ready to hang it up, challenge yourself to get over it! If you fail, don't look at it as you didn't succeed, look at it as you would a rock face you're trying to climb. Stand back, wayyyy back, and look at it and plot another path. If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need.

hard to say for sure with those pics, but the bottom skinny sections may not be from low light.  those are old areas that have already gone brown and there is no living skin on the outside anymore, thus it can be buried like karode shows.

Sometimes they can stretch like those at the bottom from being too root bound and not enough nutrients.  the tops of those plants are for sure hungry for light though.

Although they are stretched, burying them deeper into the pot will make them look far better...quite a lot of nursery grown lophophora are stretched like this anyway...  The best way to get flat sturdy looking lophs is to not have any kind of wall blockign light.  this is hard without a greenhouse though...next best thing is adding lights.  you can also turn the plants every month to give more light, but windows are notoriously dangerous for variable light/heat levels.
