Introducing the one-of-a-kind Totem Pole cactus, a naturally occurring mutation that is both sterile and persistent in the wild.

Native to the deserts of North America, specifically Sonora, Mexico and the Baja peninsula, this cactus stands tall and proud, reaching heights of up to 9 metres in a very very long time. With its distinctive columnar shape and branching structure, it is a true sight to behold.

Unlike other cacti, the Totem Pole cactus reproduces itself by growing new roots when its stems snap off and hit the ground. But don't let its lack of seeds fool you, it still produces gorgeous pink blossoms that open at night, turning into delicious egg-shaped fruits with a sweet red pulp. The cactus also has a spineless feature and can take on all sorts of bubbly, knobby shapes that resemble a giant green candle that's melted down. The rate of growth for a Totem Pole cactus can vary depending on factors such as the specific growing conditions, the age of the plant, and its overall health. However, on average, a healthy adult Totem Pole cactus can grow anywhere from 5 to 15 centimeters per year. It is a hardy and resilient species that is well adapted to survive in harsh desert conditions and can live up to 100 years.

The Totem Pole cactus is a mutated form of the Lophoercereus Schotti, a long spined, hairy, columnar-shaped cactus that branches from the base creating multiple tall stems. It is a truly fascinating and unique plant that is sure to make a statement in any desert-inspired garden or collection.
