How to grow the psychedelic cactus Peyote, Lophophora williamsii, at home on a windowsill in the UK

Lophophora williamsii, the Peyote cactus, also known as psychedelic cactus, is a unique Cactus species, spineless (without spines), very beautiful for its bluish colour and the spherical shape, and also very interesting from a chemical point of view because produces hallucinogenic compounds that were and are used by some Native Americans in some religious rituals making it one of the most well known psychedelic plants and certainly the most famous psychedelic cactus, together with the San Pedro cactus. Considering the presence of these substances in the plant, I would not recommend to keep it if you have young kids or pets that might end up eating this plants, but otherwise is a great pleasure to cultivate this plant due to its small size, gorgeous colour of the plant as well as for the beauty of its flowers, and the fact that is super easy to care for. Just water it about every 3-4 weeks from late March to October, without watering it in winter unless you see the plant to shrivel, and place the plant on a sunny windowsill, ideally south facing, the more sun the better. It will thrive and hopefully bloom as well, the flowers are exquisitely elegant with their white petals softly flushed with pink, and you can attempt to pollinate the flower and hopefully getting some Peyote seeds to grow your own home-made Peyotes. It is a wonderful cactus to grow, very different from other cacti and from any other plant.
