Monkey Tail Cactus (Cleistocactus colademononis)

This cascading cactus is native to Bolivia where it hangs on humid, steep rock faces. The spines are soft to the touch and resemble monkey tails, hence its common name. Their dark red flowers appear on the tails themselves, each measuring about 3 inches long. Monkey tail cacti, like many other cacti, are pet safe. The thorns are minimal and soft, meaning little to no damage is possible if your furry friend decides to take a nibble! Plants will ship bare root and are suitable for a 5" hanging basket.
