🌵 Spiral Totem Pole Cactus – A Twisted Desert Wonder 🌵
(Lophocereus schottii var. monstrosus 'Spiralis')
New to the Cactus Outlet just in time for Summer 2025!
Meet one of the rarest and most mesmerizing cacti in the succulent world—the Spiral Totem Pole Cactus. Native to the sun-scorched landscapes of Baja, Mexico, this remarkable cultivar takes the already quirky charm of the traditional Totem Pole Cactus and adds an unexpected architectural twist—literally.
🌀 A Natural Work of Art
Unlike its straight-growing relatives, the spiral variety begins to contort and twist once it reaches about 12 inches tall, developing a captivating corkscrew motion as it matures. Pronounced bumps and the occasional spine cluster create a texture that’s both alien and elegant—like nature’s own sculpture in slow motion. Just like the standard totem pole cactus, the spiral totem pole cactus grows arms as it matures.
🌞 Sun-Loving & Hardy
The Spiral Totem Pole cactus thrives in full sun and dry, arid climates. Heat? No problem. Just protect it during frosts—temperatures below 28°F can cause damage, so if you're in a colder zone, consider planting it in a container for easy winter relocation.
🌿 Why It Stands Out
Rare & Limited Supply – Available in limited quantities, this variant is a collector's gem.
Low Maintenance – Requires minimal water and thrives on neglect.
Perfect for Display – Its dramatic, twisted form makes it an ideal focal point for xeriscapes, rock gardens, patio pots, or sunny indoor corners.
Versatile Growth – Works beautifully in both containers and outdoor landscapes.
