The Monkey Tail Cactus (Cleistocactus colademononis), grown in a 4-inch pot, is a unique and striking succulent that features long, trailing stems covered in soft, white hairs. Resembling the tail of a monkey, these stems can grow several feet long, making it an excellent choice for hanging planters or to drape over shelves. Its unusual appearance, combined with its ease of care, makes it a favorite among cactus collectors and plant lovers alike.

This cactus produces bright red or orange flowers that bloom along the hairy stems, adding even more interest to its already distinctive look. While the plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, it is surprisingly adaptable to lower light conditions. It prefers to be watered when the soil is completely dry, making it a low-maintenance addition to your collection.

The Monkey Tail Cactus is perfect for adding a fun and exotic touch to your indoor or outdoor garden, and its dramatic, trailing growth makes it a real conversation starter.
