Spiral Totem Pole Cactus 🌵

(Lophocereus schottii var. monstrosus ‘Spiralis’)

New to The Cactus Outlet — just in time for Summer 2025!

Add a true living sculpture to your collection with the Spiral Totem Pole Cactus, one of the rarest and most visually striking cacti available. Native to the desert landscapes of Baja, Mexico, this extraordinary cultivar takes the classic Totem Pole Cactus and introduces a dramatic natural twist that turns heads instantly.

Whether displayed outdoors or used as a bold indoor accent, this cactus is impossible to ignore.

🌀 A Natural Work of Art

Unlike straight-growing Totem Pole cacti, the spiral variety begins to twist once it reaches approximately 12 inches tall, developing a captivating corkscrew motion as it matures. Pronounced bumps and occasional spine clusters create a texture that’s both alien and elegant—like nature’s own sculpture in slow motion.

As it continues to mature, the Spiral Totem Pole Cactus also develops arms, adding even more character and visual impact over time.

🌞 Sun-Loving & Hardy

This cactus thrives in full sun and dry, arid conditions. Heat is no issue.
If planted outdoors, protect from freezing temperatures—exposure below 28°F may cause damage. In cooler climates, growing in a container allows for easy relocation during winter.

🌿 Perfect for Display

Thanks to its dramatic, twisted form, the Spiral Totem Pole Cactus is an ideal statement plant for:

• Xeriscape and desert landscapes
• Rock gardens
• Patio and entryway containers
• Bright indoor spaces with direct sunlight

It works beautifully in both containers and outdoor landscapes, making it as versatile as it is unique.
