Lophocereus schottii, the senita cactus, is a species of cactus from southern Arizona and north-western Mexico, particularly Baja California and Sonora. The senita cactus exhibits mutualism with the senita moth. The senita moth is the only nocturnal pollinator of the cactus, and the moth relies on the cactus as a host for reproduction.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Watering should be extremely minimal, as cacti in general store water for long periods of time and require very little.
Soil
