Cleistocactus winteri ssp. colademononis - Monkey Tail Cactus [bare root]

Highlights

Monkey Tail Cactus (Cleistocactus winteri spp. colademononis) (Hunt): A beautiful silver trailing cactus with sweeping curves. This plant develops white hair that obscures the stem once mature and given plenty of light. It drapes down pots in silvery rivers that work very well in hanging pots. The specimen measures roughly 3"-5" in length. This plant ships as a bare root specimen without a pot.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Keep dry in winter.
