Peyote with Pups: A special breed of peyote that has the collector in mind
Natively called Peyotl, this cactus first hailed from the dry regions of Mexico. It has been a significant part of history, especially during the times of the Spanish Conquistadors. The Spanish empire was notorious for imposing its beliefs on those who came under their subjugation, and it was no different for the people of what is now Mexico. The Spanish saw peyote as part of the worship of false Gods - peyote itself is considered to be the living god El Mescalito. As a result, peyote was outlawed and driven from mainstream recognition.
Our Peyote with Pups is a special breed. Instead of having the one traditional growth, this rarer, collector's version of peyote grows with numerous pups. Peyote is quite a small cactus in stature; it grows low above soil level when compared to more traditional cacti, with the majority of the peyote cactus growing underground as a large tap root.
They are extremely slow growing, taking up to 3 years to go from seed to a mature adult plant. This, in conjunction with overharvesting and the increasing use of land for ranching, has seen a decline in the amount of peyote growing wild – to the point where it is now an endangered species.
The re-emergence of peyote and our Peyote with Pups is largely due to the establishment of the Native American Church in the 90s. This has seen a keen niche interest build in the area, with collectors wanting to obtain it for themselves. If you fancy yourself a peyote fan, then obtaining this unusual specimen may be right up your street.
Active Ingredients
Just like the classic peyote, the ingredient you will be mainly interested in with our Peyote with Pups is the potent entheogen mescaline. When fresh, peyote with pups will have a 0.4% content; if dried, you can expect this content level to increase to 3-6%. Fancy more heads in one pot? Peyote 3-Cluster (Lophophora williamsii) is a rooted plant with three separate crowns instead of one button ringed by pups.

Great looking cactus - iconic
Great ornamental cactus
Superb cactus
Very pretty
It is a very nice cactus, but mine did come with signs that has been growing in a environment with light deficiency as all the small pups where very pale and tender. With some acclimatization they are now perfect. But be careful not to expose them to to much light right away.
