Totem Pole Cactus (Lophocereus schottii monstrose) fully rooted. Great for homes with kids and pets! The skin is smooth, there are no needles, spikes, or pokey things anywhere on this cactus! It's ready to plant in a well-draining soil with minimal water while it grows roots. Once rooted, it can be gradually moved into an area that receives some nice sunshine! As with most cactus, this lil guy is pretty easy to take care of. The biggest mistake plant parents make is to over water, and this dude doesn't need a whole lot. Be mindful, and you'll both be happy :)
You will receive the cactus shown in photos. This plant will ship bare root, no pot or soil is included with this item. Some of the joints might be a bit weak for shipping, and pups may pop off, but we package carefully to avoid any damage. IF any pups pop off, you can just plant them in soil and they'll root and you'll have another cactus! ;)
Plants shipped with roots should be planted into dry soil and left without water for at least one week to ensure roots are healed and to minimize the chances of root rot or any other issues that may develop.
Plants can be sensitive during shipping, so please consider the weather in your area before ordering. We offer heat or cold packs to aid in shipping. If you would like one, please add it to your order and we'll happily pack it along with your plants for shipping. There is no additional shipping charged for the heat/cold packs.
Grown outdoors in Glendale, Arizona. Some plants and cactus may have small flaws, missing spines, imperfections, cosmetic damage or scars. These blemishes don't harm the plant and only add to their unique character! We do our best to capture these in our photos so you know exactly what you’re getting, but no person (or plant!) is perfect :)
As with all new plants you add to your collection, please take care to keep your new plant baby separated for a week or so and be on the lookout for any unwanted pests or infections. We do our best to ensure this is not an issue, but caution is always recommended.
