-How to care for Pachycereus marginatus /Mexican Fence Post Cactus-

Sun/Location: Mexican Fence Post prefers to grow in full sun and partial shade as a low-maintenance plant. It is important to note that young Pachycereus marginatus will be sunburned by overexposure to the sun.

Soil/Pot: Well-drained cactus soil mix work well for the columnar cactus. Adding soil with sand, grit, and perlite to create a desert environment. Using pots with drainage holes or planting them directly in the garden is recommended.

Watering: The soft succulent can grow untouched for decades, so you don't need to water it frequently. Allow the soil to dry out between deep watering completely.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
