6" Monkey Tail Cactus Basket

Monkey Tail Cactus (Cleistocactus colademononis)

Monkey Tail Cactus is a trailing cactus with long, cascading stems covered in soft, white, hair-like spines that give it the appearance of a furry tail. As it matures, the stems can grow several feet long, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets where its unique form can be fully appreciated. In the right conditions, it also produces vibrant red tubular flowers that contrast beautifully against the white hairs.

It’s a low-maintenance cactus that thrives in bright light and well-draining soil.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings
🌫 Humidity: Prefers dry conditions; does not need added humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in 65–85°F; protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
⭐ Rare: Semi-Rare

Fun Fact:
The soft white hairs help protect the stems from intense sun in their native mountain habitat, while still allowing the cactus to flower through the fuzzy covering. 🌵🐒
