Cimi Posted February 1, 2014 Whatever you do with watering, I recommend always using unglazed terra cotta pots so they can dry out completely between waterings, and quickly if needed. This makes them more forgiving of overwatering. You don't want rot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trucha Posted February 1, 2014 In the wild williamsii normally experiences someplace between 6 and 10 months of drought per year. Often with torrential downpours in-between. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted February 2, 2014 I live in a "desert-ish" climate, all my lophophoras on the root (where they get intense direct sunlight) are grown in agricultural soil (though I'm changing that this season) and I water them from 2-3 times a week in the summer. By watering I mean I drown them in water and non of mine ever rotted. However I only water them once during the winter. This one was grafted to pereskiopsis for a year than degrafted and it's been growing on its own roots for 2 years now. I can also say, I prefer the "natural" look of lophophora rather than the plump look that wesee. In Thailand's nurseries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted February 2, 2014 Kinda reminds me of Kobe beef, you know, the cows that are cooped up in pens, fed beer & massaged daily, I wouldn't mind being fed beer and massaged daily. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
