The Lophophora diffusa is a beautiful cactus species that occurs naturally in a small area in the Mexican state of Querétaro. Here this cactus grows in a dry desert with sandy soil. Often some dry other vegetation is the only shelter for this cactus from the bright sun. So give this Lophophora diffusa a bright place. Because it is also very dry here, the Lophophora diffusa has a large taproot. She can quickly store large amounts of water in this to get through a period of drought.

The Lophophora diffusa has a green-gray color and has woolly areoles. This Lophophora likes to bloom and the Lophophora diffusa is also an easy bloomer. This cactus blooms several times from spring to the end of summer. White flowers appear from the center of the cactus and bloom for several days.

When the Lophophora diffusa gets a bit older, it will also produce some side shoots from the bottom. Over time you will get a beautiful cluster with this cool Lophophora species.
