Senita Cactus – Majestic Southwest Desert Beauty 🌵🌞
Also known as Lophocereus schotti, the Senita Cactus is a stunning multi-column cactus from the Sonoran desert that can grow over 10 feet tall, making it a true statement plant for your landscape or container garden. With its unique and symmetrically ribbed appearance, the Senita Cactus is closely related to the Organ Pipe, Mexican Fence Post, and Totem Pole Cactus, with the Totem Pole being a spineless mutation of this species.
Features and Benefits:
Unique Appearance 🌿: The Senita Cactus forms multiple branches from the base of its columns as it matures, developing dense spines that look like hair covering the tops of the individual stems.
Cold Tolerance ❄️: The Senita cactus can tolerate nighttime temperatures down to the mid-20s for short durations, but it is not highly cold-hardy. It's best suited for warm climates and should be protected from frost during cold spells. Container cultivation allows for easy protection by moving the plant indoors when necessary.
Low Maintenance 🏡: The Senita Cactus is a very low-maintenance plant, ideal for busy gardeners. It thrives in dry, hot climates and requires minimal care once established.
