Cleistocactus colademononis

Description

The Cleistocactus colademononis or ‘Monkey tail’ cactus is a fast growing Lithophyte with curling tail-like stems which are white/gingery and really as soft as they look, making it the loveliest cacti to work with and have in your home. If that wasn’t enough it also has a flourish of pink flowers in early summer. Larger pot size (over 12cm) will feature multiple stem, smaller pot size will have a single stem.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

REPOTTING

Repot every 2-3 years using fresh cacti & succulent compost.

FEED

Use a cactus feed from March – November every other time you water.
