Below is a list of retailers/nurseries selling cactus seed and plants. I've only listed sites I've done business with.
If you are looking to buy peyote seeds or plants, please check your local laws before doing so. All parts of peyote (Lophophora williamsii) plants and the seeds thereof are classified as Schedule I substances in the United States. Also, peyote is illegal to posses in France, Russia, and possibly more countries.
Seeds
Jan Martin Jecminek has a lot of different seed. Many with locality information.
Another Czech seed retailer is Chrudimsky kaktusar. They are also selling plants. The germination rate of Pavel Pavlicek's seed is incredibly high.
Yet another Czech retailer is Jaromír Dohnalík (the Czechs are big in the cacti business).
Kaktusy Ryšavý has many different Lophophora seeds with locality information (and is by coincidence also Czech ;-).
If you can't find the seeds you're looking for at Steve Brack's Mesa Garden, you probably can't find it anywhere (except peyote seeds - illegal in the USA).
Navajo Country - Pediocactus, Sclerocactus, Navajoa, Toumeya and other hardy cacti.
Plants
Mesa Garden, Uhlig-Kakteen and Albert Plapp all have huge selections of plants.
The German retailer Kakteen Kliem has a good selection of plants with locality information.
Grafting stock
Allies (formerly ...of the jungle) carries a good selection of Trichocereus cuttings (I bought Trichocereus 'Juul's Giant'). The people at Allies are extremely helpful and friendly, and their cuttings are healthy and good value.

earthalchemy.net also offer a wide range of loph seed, trichs and some other sacred cacti as well
divinecactus got me busted, package was leaking dirt in the mail, it didnt make it through customs.
customs label was suspicious.
poorly packaged, no replys to emails, police said they basicly ratted me out.
stupid ordering lopho's from a country they are illegal in, yes. but proper packaging and believable customs label would have saved me 10 years probation, my job, my house. etc.
dont be stupid, order legal mescaline containing cacti if that is why you are buying it. like san pedro and peruvian torch.
I've tried to work with divinecactus, but they are extremely difficult on the customer service end of things. No replies to emails, requests, or any updates. So, I didn't place an order. Either they are in business or they are not. In my country all of this is legal.
sweden has some nice and cheap lophophora seeds and plants for sale, search google for:
www.succseed.com
and
wermlanddesertplants///cacti svante
excellent stuff!!!
I just recentley ordered a 100 seeds and a 1cm peyote plant and all came within a week highly reccomend them and i have hadd 100% germination so far
http://www.botanical-cacti.mfbiz.com/
One hundred seeds and a 100% germination rate - that's very convincing ;-) Please note that I'm in no way affiliated with nor have any experience with the retailers mentioned in the comments. I allow the comments as they might be relevant - but they might as well be people promoting their own sites.
These anonymous people are bullshitters trying to promote their own site.
I saw a pretty cool site with seeds and pereskiopsis and stuff.. Check it out. www.cactiperfecti.com
Hi
After being told about the comments written about us (Divine Cactus) on here by 'Anonymous', we did not really feel the need to respond, but it seems from one or two emails we have received that there are people out there that believe this rubbish.
We must be doing a good job - if they feel the need to diss us. We send the best organically grown plants without soil and very well protected and packaged. We have been sending plants by mail order for 3 years, hundreds per week, and our packaging is 2nd to none. We have many many happy customers.
thank you
Divine Cactus
Divine cactus are excellent
see, it is that easy to comment!!
I could of easily said anything about us or anyone else - true or false.
divinecactus, I understand that you are disgruntled by the commenter stating he got busted after doing business with you, and by the comment claiming you're not answering emails. I also agree in your statement that anonymous comments inherently should not be trusted. On the other hand, if the allegations mentioned in the "busted" comment and the consequences thereof are correct, that might explain the commenter's need for anonymity.
As mentioned in a previous comment I have no experience with any of the retailers (divinecactus included ;-) referred to in the comments – and all opinions stated in the comments are purely those of the commenter and are not the view of the Lophophora Blog.
hi,
i am from turkey. is there a retailer which can send me lophophora plants
I would expect large retailers like Uhlig and Plapp to ship plants to Turkey (if Lophophora is legal in Turkey), but some of the smaller retailers might be willing as well. Given that Turkey is not (yet) a member of the European Union you probably have to deal with CITES documents etc, if importing cacti from Europe.
Have you ever tried this vendor http://www.koehres-kaktus.de/ ?
Gerhard Köhres is certainly on my list of vendors I would do business with, but I’ve actually never ordered anything from him (yet;-) I’ve mostly bought seeds from Czech growers – many of them have a large selection of seed with locality information, good germination rates, and are very reliable. If anyone has experience with Köhres Kaktus, please share the information.
Hi, I have just recently bought a couple lopophora williamsii var. caespitosa only for collection purposes, one is 9cm and the other is 5-6cm the guy i bought from has shipped here before and has never had problems.(not revealing country as of yet, because it is illegal and i don't want to heighten the awareness) I'm hoping that nothing comes up like the other anonymous guy, if it truly did happen. I'm so sick and tired of my country's stubbornness with the drug war, I'd give my life to know it will put an end to the prejudice bull that has led to hundreds of thousands of decent people put in prison for trying to live life the way they wish to live it.
Anyway, i love your site, it is definitely one of a kind, keep up the great work...oh and try to get yourself an albino loph :P, ive seen 2 or 3 on a forum I am in, beautiful specimens, they have to be grafted to something though, just thought you would enjoy something like that, take care of them beauties.
Thanks, and good luck with your plants. Actually I once grew an albino Lophophora williamsii seedling but lost it due to my inferior Pereskiopsis grafting skills.
ah man, that blows, id love to see more albinos, they are just beautiful. i got my lophophoras in today, one flowered while traveling to me but fell off so i didnt get to see it, but oh well..ive got plenty of time to watch these little guys grow into monsters. one of them came to me a bit mushy...but i think i can save it....they came from http://www.kakteen-plapp.de/shop/index_en.html, i had a friend in the UK buy them and ship em out to me in trade for a couple trichocereus hybrids.
Hi
A friend gave me a bare root Lop Will...How do I repot it.. In sand to get the roots going, or normal cactus soil. Should I wait a few weeks to water.
Thanks
I would leave the plant to dry for a couple of days before potting it, just in case some of the roots are wounded or broken. Normal cactus soil will do alright (as long as it's well drained), but make sure that the soil is completely dry when potting. Don't water the plant for the first couple of weeks (again you want to make sure that all wounded surfaces have time to callus) - depending on the plant's size, health and growing conditions, you might even want to withhold water until the beginning of the next growing season (if you live in the northern hemisphere that is ;-)
thank for your help.
My plant is small 3.5 cm...it looks good except that it is very soft near the base just above the root line...what should I do with it, It has been trying for a few days now...top 3/4 plant is medium hard. Any suggestions would be very helpful or is this normal for bare root plant.
thank you
From your description it sounds like a normal, healthy plant. I think the soft tissue just above the root line is the first sign of water depletion, but as long as there's no signs of rot your plant should be fine. If it's been drying for some days, I would plant it in bone dry soil and not water for some weeks. Use fast draining soil, i.e. soil that dries completely in a couple of days after being watered (more cultivated peyote plants have probably died from too much water than too little ;-)
thank you....It has been planted in dry soil...no water for a few weeks..I have it in my grow station..it gets to around 34 max temp and 22 min...I have lights(full spec)5000k on timer for 14 hours a day... Should I keep the plant in the growing stage or put it into the dormant stage? I would love to see it flower but I don't know how old the plant is. It's about 3.5 almost 4 cm.
Thank again
That would be about flowering size. I'm keeping all of my plants dormant during winter and have no experience using artificial grow lights, so I can't say if the plants will flower readily if kept in "continuous growth mode". The youngest plant that has flowered for me was a 3 year old seedling grown in my unheated greenhouse. During winter these plants are kept bone dry and dormant as they are subject to periods of sub-freezing temperatures and very low light levels. But off course, that's not an argument that a dormancy period is actually required to set flowers ;-)
On the other hand, it would be an interesting experiment to keep the plants growing without a dormancy period. Usually they flower quite freely once started.
I was able to get another one..so now I have one near the window..aprox temp 15..and one in grow room.... the one near the window I will not give water at all...the one in the grow room gets water once a month.. will be interesting to see difference in growing ..if any.
thank again
Just promoting my own site as well :) We have lots of Lophophora varieties, seeds and plants for sale as well. We try to stay competitive, have not found many people as cheap on seeds as us. We grow all our own plants and seeds, so I think they are likely the freshest around. great germ rates! also have many other cactus species. http://kadasgarden.tripod.com/cacti.html
I would also like to second kohres i have bought from him and liked his stock. I find many vendors buy their stock from him. Seems popular! I would also like to suggest cactus heaven. i have had mostly great experience with them!
Hi,
I 'd like to buy a lophophora williamsii grafted on a pereskiopsis... if you 've it off course...
I'm french, so , SOrry for my english, I hope you'll understand me.
fortinfamily@hotmail.fr
Sorry, I'm neither selling plants nor seeds. I'm not sure if any of the retailers listed above are selling peyote grafted onto Pereskiopsis - but they sure are selling all the different parts you need to do it yourself ;-)
Dear cactus lovers,
I am the owner of a small hobby nursery in the Netherlands, www.cactusplaza.com
I sell and provide information on natural and healthy cultivated Lophophora species.
I think my precies are more then reasonable. I offer seeds and plants of around 30 species and subspecies of Lophophora.
If you order Lophophora williamsii or other Lophophora at CactusPlaza or any other store make sure your order is ok for your local laws and customs.
Sincerely,
Allard
CactusPlaza
