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:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
