🌵 Senita Cactus (Lophocereus schottii)

Majestic Sonoran Desert Columnar Cactus

Also known as Lophocereus schottii, the Senita Cactus is a striking multi-column cactus native to the Sonoran Desert. Closely related to the Organ Pipe, Mexican Fence Post, and Totem Pole Cactus (a spineless mutation of this species), the Senita is prized for its dramatic height, architectural form, and desert toughness.

With maturity, it can exceed 10 feet tall, making it a powerful statement plant for landscapes or large containers.

The Senita Cactus develops multiple upright columns that branch from the base as it matures. The tops of the stems are covered with dense, hair-like spines, giving the plant a rugged yet elegant desert look.
