Peyote plants have a variety called caespitosa which is different from your typical roundheaded peyote cactus. The Caespitosa Peyote naturally grows as a cluster rather than a singular ball. It creates multiple offshoots around the main plant forming what can be a stunning large cluster of bluish-green crowns when given enough time to develop. The soft look of the spineless and lightly ribbed crowns is serene, growing as what looks like a cluster of meditating stones. The caespitosa variety is well sought after in the Australian collector community. Not only does it have a unique appearance from your typical rounded Peyote, it can be difficult to find large well grown clusters. Seeing as how Peyote cacti are slow-growing, finding a large grouping already formed is a bonus.
