Cleistocactus
Freaky and fabulous! The Monkey Tail Cactus is a unique trailing plant, sure to stand out in any collection
This cactus is endemic to Bolivia, but has been popularised as a houseplant around the world. We sourced ours from our East Midlands neighbours at Southfield Nurseries (Cactusland)
Pop in your sunniest window where it's ideally going to get a few hours of direct sun a day. Water thoroughly when soil is completely dry, but if you're not sure leave a little longer - they're very drought tolerant!
During spring and summer, keep nice and warm and fertilise with every other watering using a cacti specific feed. In the colder months, reduce watering heavily, stop feeding, and reduce temperatures. If you give your cactus colder temperatures in the winter, you are more likely to get blooms!
