The monkey tail cactus (Cleistocactus colademononis, previously Hildewintera colademononis) is a type of cactus plant characterized by its long, cascading shape and white, hair-like spines. Also called soft monkey tail cactus, it gets its common name from its hairy appearance that resembles a monkey's tail.

In spring and early summer, this cactus produces bright red flowers. Its origins can be traced to the mountainous countryside of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, where it can be found growing naturally in rocky soil. As a houseplant, it's commonly grown in hanging baskets, which allow its long drooping stems to grow freely. Each stem can increase in size by nearly a foot every year.

🐒 Monkey Tail Cactus Grow and Care Instructions🐒

~ Grow Instructions ~

The Monkey Tail cactus seeds are very easy to germinate, if given the ideal conditions. Before planting the seeds, the soil needs to be light, well aerated and drains fast. 

In short, loamy and sandy soils are perfect for growing monkey tail cactus seeds. It doesn’t have to be combined with any other soil. And it is pathogen-free, helps fight root rot, and has the right pH level for a cactus plant.

Step 1: Fill a terracotta pot with the cactus soil mix of your choice. Delicately firm down and level the surface of the soil. Then scatter the Monkey Tail cactus seeds over the surface. Make sure not to plant them too deep.

Step 2: Lightly sprinkle a thin layer of fine grit or vermiculite over the seeds, covering the entire surface of the soil. Leave the terracotta pot in a warm windowsill or a greenhouse, covered with a clear plastic bag to conserve soil moisture.

Step 3: Seedlings will sprout within a few weeks. Just remove the plastic bag and water the soil when it becomes dry.

Step 4: The next spring, the seedlings should be ready to be transplanted. Use a spoon or fork to tease out individual cacti lightly. Be careful not to catch the spikes on your skin.

Step 5: part-fill a small container with gritty compost and lightly ease the cactus seedling into place. You can use tweezers to make sure the seedlings are not sitting at an angle.

Step 6: Fill around the seedling with compost and only water it when the soil is dry. Use the spoon to arrange gravel around your seedlings. Place it in a sunny area such as your windowsill.

~ Care Instructions ~

Monkey tail cacti are relatively easy for beginners to grow. Follow these plant care guidelines to ensure that your monkey tail cactus thrives.

Light: Monkey tail cacti thrive in areas that receive plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. While indirect light is ideal, this desert-native cactus will tolerate some full sun as well.

Water: Water your cacti weekly in the spring and summer growing season. Your monkey tail cactus will store water in its stems for fall and winter when it enters its dormancy period. Lightly water it during the off-season when the soil is completely dry, but be careful to avoid overwatering your plant as overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil: A well-draining organic soil mix or specially formulated cactus soil mix is ideal. Look for cactus mix at your local nursery or add perlite to a standard potting mix to help the soil drain excess water.

Fertilizer: During its growing season in the spring and summer, apply a low-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer monthly to encourage growth.

Pot: The monkey tail cactus has a shallow root system and doesn't need a large pot to thrive. As the stems grow past the length of the pot, however, consider repotting your plant in a hanging basket to allow the flowing stems to trail.

Pests: The monkey tail cactus is prone to infestations of mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. If you notice an infestation, use a cotton ball to apply rubbing alcohol along the spines to remove the pests. Then apply a gentle insecticide like neem oil to prevent another infestation.

Propagation: To propagate your monkey tail cactus, cut off part of a stem and allow it to dry for several days. Once the end has formed a callus, plant it in rich, organic cactus soil. Place the plant in a humid area that receives a mix of full sun and partial shade. Your plant should begin to root within a few weeks.
