Scientific Name: Lophocereus Schottii Mieckleyanus

Introducing the Lophocereus schottii mieckleyanus, the slimmer version of the iconic Totem Pole Cactus. This variety brings a unique twist with its slender, elongated columns and smooth, spineless surface, resembling ancient totemic sculptures. Its ridges run vertically, creating an elegant, ribbed pattern that adds texture and interest. Ideal for those who appreciate the exotic yet seek a more refined silhouette, this cactus is a symbol of grace and serenity in the plant world, thriving with minimal care and offering a distinct presence in any setting.

🌵 Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil.

Key Features

Distinguishing Feature: This variety is known for its elongated, slender form with less pronounced knobby protrusions compared to the standard Totem Pole Cactus.
Areoles: Similar to the 'Monstrosus' variety, the 'Mieckleyanus' also features absent or greatly reduced areoles, contributing to its smooth texture.
Ribs: It has fewer ribs than the standard form, which are more elongated and less knobby, giving it a sleeker appearance.
Spines: This variety remains naturally spineless, making it an excellent choice for spaces where people or pets may interact with the plant.
Flowers: Flowering is rare, but it can produce small, nocturnal, white flowers similar to the 'Monstrosus' variety.
Growth Rate: While it is a slow-grower, the 'Mieckleyanus' tends to grow taller and more slender over time.

Very nice plant

I couldn’t be happier with my cactus. It arrived well packaged and healthy. After a quick potting it looks great, and I can’t wait to see it grow.

Extremely Happy Customer!

I ordered this cactus because my friends used to call me "The Big Skinny" in high school. As soon as I laid my eyes on this little guy I knew I had to give it a home.

The folks at CactusWarehouse took great care to package the cactus and it came in PERFECT condition. They also included a cute card with instructions and affirmations of "cactus living."

So glad to now be a part of the cactus community and so glad to have received the guidance and assistance of CactusWarehouse. I'll definitely be ordering more!
