Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Sourced from open-pollinated seeds of our curated ex-situ mother plants grown sustainably in controlled horticultural settings, preserving wild populations from San Luis Potosí. “Fresh harvest” means seeds collected within the last 3 months for peak viability at 80%+ under ideal conditions. This La Morita locality offers genetic stability with pronounced ribs and unique floral traits; germination ranges 70-90% affected by sterility, temperature, and moisture—fully batch-tested for reliability.

Botanical & Seed Characteristics
