Hello new plant parent! Here are a few tips to ensure your Lophophora diffusa lives a long and healthy life:
- Light: Protect it from direct midday sun. Morning sun or filtered bright light is ideal.
- Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering leads to root rot. Almost completely cease watering during winter months.
- Soil: Use a sandy, mineral-heavy mix specially prepared for cacti, ensuring excellent drainage.
- Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes. A not-too-deep pot will suffice as its roots don't go very deep.
- Temperature: It is sensitive to frost. Keep it indoors or in a protected area during winter.
- Handling: Due to its soft structure, it is delicate; avoid unnecessary touching.
