🌵 Totem Pole Cactus ‘Minor’

(Lophocereus schottii var. monstrosus)

Spineless • Fast Growing • Sculptural

The Totem Pole Cactus ‘Minor’ is a striking, spineless cactus native to Baja California and a unique monstrose form of the Sonoran Desert Senita cactus. Known for its thinner columns, wavier growth, and faster arm development, the ‘Minor’ variety delivers bold architectural impact in a shorter amount of time.

Each plant grows unpredictably, developing twists, knobs, and curves that make every specimen a true living sculpture.
