Totem Pole Cactus (Lophocereus schottii var. monstrosus) – Large, Thornless, Sculptural Cactus

Bring a bold, sculptural accent to your garden or home with the rare Totem Pole Cactus! This unique, thornless variety of Lophocereus schottii is prized for its smooth, bumpy texture and striking columnar form—earning its nickname for its resemblance to a traditional totem pole.

  • Thornless & Smooth: Safe to plant near walkways, patios, and pools—no spines!

  • Size: Grows up to 15 feet tall, often forming clumps with new stems at the base.
  • Rare Blooms: Occasionally produces stunning, night-blooming white-pink flowers, followed by small, red, seedless fruit.
  • Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and easy to care for.
