Lophophora alberto-vojtechii
A tiny, slow Lophophora from seasonally flooded silty flats in northern San Luis Potosí, where the stems sit flush with or below dried mud. It wants bright but not scorching light, a summer-wet and winter-dry rhythm, and a fine, fast-draining mineral mix in a deep pot for its taproot.
Where it grows wild
Dry flats that flood briefly in the rains, with the plants pulled down under dust or dried mud and growing among other small cacti such as Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus and Mammillaria coahuilensis.
Around 1,700 m at the type area; the measured records span 1,330–2,130 m but many seem to belong to other Lophophora populations.
