🌵 Totem Pole Cactus

(Lophocereus schottii var. monstrosus)

Spineless • Sculptural • One-of-a-Kind

The Totem Pole Cactus is one of the most distinctive cacti you can grow. Native to Baja California, this spineless, monstrose form of the Senita cactus features knobby, twisting columns that look more like modern art than a plant.

No two Totem Pole cacti grow the same—each one develops its own unique curves, bumps, and arms, making it a true living sculpture for your landscape, patio, or home.

🌵 Choose Your Variety

Totem Pole “Major”

• Thicker columns
• More pronounced knobs and bumps
• Bold, sculptural presence

Totem Pole “Minor”

• Thinner, wavier columns
• Faster growth rate
• Quicker arm development

Both varieties share the same spineless, sculptural character.

🌱 Growth Habit & Size

• Twisted, contorted columnar growth
• Irregular ribs and knobby texture
• Mature plants reach several feet tall
• Growth pattern is unpredictable and unique

This cactus looks incredible as it matures—each year adds more character.

🌞 Climate & Care

• Thrives in warm, arid climates
• Not cold hardy below 28°F
• In frost-prone areas, grow in containers and move indoors for winter
• Loves full sun and well-draining soil
• Extremely drought tolerant once established
