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!
