Guest Ramon Posted June 26, 2000 Just wondering if anyone knows the best ph levels for Peyote. I plan on planting in a Cypress pine (callistris) forest and I believe pine forest is usually slightly acid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Dunkel Posted June 26, 2000 I'm not sure on the exact pH level for Lophophoras but it is suggested by most that one should add some Calcium Carbonate to the cactus mix to keep the pH a little high. Then again I have read recommendations from others that say that calcium carbonate is not necessary as they believe too high a pH will reduce nutrient uptake by their roots. I know in Holland some mass produce these babies on normal potting mix with added grit and sand, under glass. I think that Lophophoras naturaly grow in limestone type soils. I hope this helps, maybe there is someone else that has more experience with these little green ones. E D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
