Jourdaniana is a hybrid! Proof in a paper! (from Canada)

Free to download on official page. And here it is (the paper):

Abstract from the paper: "The unknown parent is likely not part of the Lophophora genus due to the greater than

10% difference in average gene similarity with the small compartment. It can also be ruled out

that the second parent is E. pachanoi given the lack of similar genes (see Appendix 4). There are

a few theories of what the other parental plant could be, such as cacti found growing near L.

williamsii including but not limited to Ariocarpus spp., Turbinocarpus spp., and Mammiliaria

spp due to their proximity to wild peyote button sites (Niesel, 2018). L. williamsii have been

shown to successfully crossbreed with the latter two genus in a greenhouse setting but there is

limited evidence of wild hybridization (Schmidt, 1969)."

Seedlings were grafted in July 2025, just Aztekium seedling was one year older, the rest is the same age. Arios, Aztekium Valdezii, Turbinicarpus Lophophoroides and Lophophora Fricii Albiflora and Jourdaniana for comparison. The same conditions so far.

Seedling grafted on pere, I am calling it Pinky Jourdaniana Microheads Microflower :D

Jourdanianas, the first one (and the same plant on the second image) is from seed labelled as Jourdaniana, the other "normal" Jourdaniana Mammillaris

Jourdaniana vegetative reproduction - 6 months old rooted pups (last picture 6 month old picture).

Definitely the best loph for this so far for me. Easy rooters, forgiving little mistake here and there...

Arios and Lophs germination conditions. Arios are weak, help.

Hi, I am germinating Ariocarpuses and Lophophoras and Ortegocactuses in the same conditions, Heat mats are on 26 degrees, but the temperature is bit lower over the night (not under 20 Celsiuses. Lophs and Ortegos are germinating perfectly, but have very few arios out so far. I have some last year experience, and they seedlings didn't like light too much. I think, that I should be just little more patient, but maybe is time for panic! Is there anything wrong please?

Some of my the biggest pere beasts. They looks like are going to bait me at the end of the summer!

2000 arios, some ortegos and plenty of own lophs in one picture

I haven't add calcium supplement this time, do you think, their young bones will survive first few months without? Thanks Koehreses for extra Ortegos, appreciate that (and for extra arios too, if there are any, haven't count them :D ).
