Totem Pole Cactus (Lophocereus schottii f. monstrosus)
This uniquely sculptural cactus is a must-have for collectors. Known for its smooth, spineless columns and bizarrely contorted growth, the Totem Pole Cactus is a naturally occurring monstrose form of Lophocereus schottii. Its alien-like appearance makes it a standout in arid gardens and indoor cactus collections alike.
Care Instructions

Soil: Fast-draining cactus mix is essential.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (70–90°F / 21–32°C); protect from frost.
