Plant/Product Description:
Pachycereus marginatus, also known as the Mexican Fence Post Cactus, is a tall, columnar cactus that features thick, erect stems with prominent vertical ribs. Native to Mexico, this cactus is typically green, though it can develop a bluish hue in full sun. The Mexican Fence Post Cactus grows slowly but can reach impressive heights, making it an excellent choice for large containers, garden beds, or as a natural fence in dry landscapes. During the spring and summer, it produces large, showy white or yellow flowers.
Plant Care Notes:

- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus mix or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Pachycereus marginatus is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by cuttings or seeds.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Pachycereus marginatus is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
