Formerly Lemaireocereus marginatus, the Fence Post cactus is famous as it makes great living fences, with its ornate short spines on 15cm thick stems that grow straight up to 4 metres tall.
Plants grow up to 30cm per year and may produce basal offsets when older. Best suited to temperate climates outdoors. Will grow much slower in pots.
Position - full sun or partially shaded positions outdoors.
Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour. Flowering will only occur in good light.
Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.
Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
