Mexican Fence Post Cactus

Image 1 Image 2 Image 3

Stenocereus marginatus or Mexican fence post cactus is a large columnar cactus from Mexico. The Mexican Fence Post cactus can grow well over twelve feet tall in the landscape but will not grow nearly as tall in potted arrangements. The Mexican fence post cactus makes a very nice landscape or container plant as it fits in equally well with modern or rustic design elements.

The Mexican Fence Post cactus has a tight columnar growth habit with new "arms" emerging from the bottom of the main stems. The Mexican fence post cactus can be grown indoors as long as it has ample sunlight through a window.

Protect the growing tips of the Mexican Fence Post cactus from temperatures below freezing if planting outdoors. Plant in well drained soil and never over water.

Our shipping process guarantees your Mexican Fence Post cactus will come to you in pristine condition and wrapped in a way that makes planting easy!

Why purchase our Columnar Cacti?

Our columnar cacti are grown in their native habitat right here in Southern Arizona. Raised outdoors with just the right amount of water and fertilizer, they come to you in their natural form. These plants do not come to you from a greenhouse. They are already hardy to whatever growing conditions you have to offer. Our columnar cacti present the same appearance as you will find them in their native habitats.

If you want to plant them in a container for a sunroom, patio or window planter, great! If you want to take your columnar cacti and plant them in the ground, also great! No acclimation needed. Our plants are ready to go!

Graws fast

I bought a fence post cactus in July 1922 and it was 19" tall. After a year and a half (January 2024), it is now 31" tall and healthy, even though I'm growing it in a pot.

Loving our Mexican Fence Post Cactus

Mike's guidance was super helpful in us selecting the correct plant for our breakfast nook. Our Mexican Fence Post cactus showed up as scheduled. It was packaged like a fine piece of china and traveled to Omaha, Nebraska unscathed. Talked with Mike about potting this plant and his suggestions were very helpful. Can't wait to talk my wife into letting me get another cactus from The Cactus Outlet!
