Description

The Pachycereus marginatus commonly known as the Mexican Fence Post has a moderate growth rate known for its tall, slender green stems. Native to Mexico, this species can reach up to 20 feet tall. This cactus is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and thrives in full sun. Ideal for both beginners and experts alike. 

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. 

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. 🌡️❄️

Cactus Care & FAQs

✔ After Arrival: Let your Mexican Fence Post Cactus rest in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun for optimal growth. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks in warm months and less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 25°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it in extreme cold.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11
