What’s Included in Your Order

• Premium Lophophora fricii “San Pedro” hybrid seeds (quantity selected at purchase).

• Sealed in a protective, labeled viability packet to maintain freshness.

• Detailed germination guide (digital PDF download link provided with order).

Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Sourced from controlled cross-pollination between curated Lophophora fricii mother plants and Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro) pollen, grown ex-situ in sustainable horticultural settings. “Fresh harvest” means seeds collected within the last 3 months for 75%+ viability under ideal conditions. Hybrid genetics yield variable morphology with enhanced growth rates; germination 65-85% affected by sterility, temperature, and hybrid instability—batch-tested for reliability.

Botanical & Seed Characteristics

• Species & Origin: Lophophora fricii x Trichocereus pachanoi “San Pedro” hybrid, cultivated cross from Coahuila stock and Andean columnar cactus.

• Seed Appearance: Larger than pure Lophophora (1.5-2mm), black-brown, slightly elongated with prominent hilum, hybrid vigor coat.

• Dormancy: Low to moderate; light scarification or GA3 soak boosts rates for intergeneric seeds.

• Storage Advice: Cool (4-10°C), dark, dry in packet; viable 2+ years sealed.

Germination & Cultivation Guide

Recommended Method

Humidity dome or “Takeaway Tek” adapted for hybrid cactus seeds.

Substrate & Sowing

Sterile mix (60% perlite, 30% coir, 10% pumice); surface sow (light required), 1cm spacing for potential vigor.

Environment

22-28°C days/15-20°C nights, bright indirect light or 14h grow lights, 80-90% humidity under dome.

Timeline

Germination 10-30 days; faster than pure Lophophora due to hybrid vigor, up to 6 weeks.

Aftercare

Ventilate early post-germination; moderate bottom-watering, transition to full sun as hybrid growth accelerates.

Benefits & Use Cases

• Propagation & Cultivation: Experience faster growth and novel forms blending button and columnar traits.

• Genetic Preservation: Document intergeneric hybrid potential for future Lophophora breeding programs.

• Educational Value: Study hybridization, F1 variability, and polyploidy effects in cacti.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Produce experimental plants affordably versus pure species rarity.
