The Monkey Tail Cactus (cleistocactus colademononis and formerly known as hildewintera colademononis) is an easy to grow, prickly plant known for its long, cascading shape with white, fuzzy hair-like spines. Ideal as hanging plants or trailing from a shelf, the stems will drape over the edges of their pot growing as much as a foot a year. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this cactus is its vibrant, red flowers that sprout throughout the entire growing season. Unlike other cacti that just give you one flower or require perfect growing conditions to bloom, this cactus will reward you with endless blooms with very little work on your part.
