Cleistocactus winteri ssp. colademononis is a pendant cactus covered in a thick coat of soft, hair-like spines. Its hairy appearance has earned it the common moniker "Monkey's Tail Cactus". It is native to Bolivia, where it grows epilithically on the sides of cliffs with plenty of sun exposure and high humidity. It produces bright coral-pink flowers with a tubular base and a burst of petals at the opening. This cactus is easy to care for, requiring bright, filtered light and watering only after the soil becomes dry.

Feed only when the plant is actively growing with a liquid plant food high in potassium.

Monkey Tail Cactus are easily propagated using cuttings in the spring or summer. Allow the end of the cuttings to form a “callous” before planting them in cactus soil.

3" is a 4" cutting.
