The Monkey’s Tail Cactus is a rare and fascinating cactus known for its long, trailing stems covered in soft, white, hair-like spines that resemble a monkey’s tail. Native to Bolivia, this epiphytic cactus thrives when grown in hanging baskets, allowing its fuzzy stems to cascade downward in dramatic fashion. In spring or summer, it rewards growers with stunning bright red or pink flowers.
Features:
- Unique trailing stems covered in soft, silky white spines
- Ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters
- Produces eye-catching red-pink blooms in warmer months
- Fast-growing under the right conditions
- A conversation-starting addition to any cactus collection
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Avoid harsh midday sun, especially in summer.
- Watering: Water when the top half of the soil has dried out. Reduce watering in cooler months.
- Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Ensure good airflow to avoid moisture retention.
- Temperature: Best kept in warm environments. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
- Fertilizer: Apply a diluted cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4–6 weeks.
- Maintenance: Prune dead or damaged stems as needed. Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth.

Quick from order to receive and very healthy plants.b
So bloody cute and well packed. Thanks team
My plant arrived fresh n happy! It was life size! 😁 ...So big and fat n even quite long! The hair/ fur wasn't as prickly as I thought it might be.. I would most definitely buy again. The price was very reasonable as it would be a couple years old I am thinking. Thank you for my amazing Manfred! That's his name, not variety! 😄
When I ordered my Cacti, I was hoping it would be delivered in a great condition, and it certainly was. I couldn't have been happier with my decision. My plant was delivered in a prompt manner, well packed and quite obvious it was packed with care and the attention required for a safe delivery.\nThank you so much and I will definitely buy my succulents from you. Thank you
