Description

The Mexican Fence Post is a great vertical cacti that has a few, small white thorns following the plants ribs, and has a very upright growth pattern. The contrast of the white thorns on a rich green skin makes the Fence Post stand out when planted near other cereus or a cactus garden.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
