Product Description

If there were an award for the most fun plant in the shop, the Monkey's Tail Cactus would be right up there.

Cleistocactus colademononis is one of the most sought-after cacti in the world, loved for its long, cascading stems covered in soft, silky white spines that resemble a monkey's tail. Despite its fuzzy appearance, this quirky cactus is surprisingly easy to care for and only gets more impressive with age.

Perfect for hanging planters, shelves and elevated displays, each stem gradually grows longer and more dramatic, eventually forming a curtain of soft trailing growth. During the warmer months, mature plants may even reward you with vibrant red-orange flowers that seem to appear out of nowhere amongst the furry stems.

A conversation starter, collector's plant and statement piece all rolled into one.

The Details
• Botanical Name: Cleistocactus colademononis
• Common Name: Monkey's Tail Cactus
• Pot Size: 130mm Nursery Pot
• Plant Type: Trailing cactus / succulent

Light
Thrives in bright light with several hours of direct sun each day. A sunny windowsill, bright patio or well-lit indoor position is ideal.

Watering
Allow the potting mix to dry completely between waterings. Water more frequently during active growth in spring and summer, and reduce watering significantly through winter.

Humidity
Prefers dry conditions and does not require additional humidity.

Growth Habit
Produces long trailing stems covered in soft, harmless white spines. As the plant matures, stems can grow impressively long and create a dramatic cascading display.

Extra Care Tips
Plant into a free-draining cactus and succulent mix and avoid overwatering. Hanging baskets are the perfect way to showcase its unique trailing growth habit.

Pet Friendly?
Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, however the fine spines may still cause irritation if chewed or handled by curious pets.
