These fast-growing cactus are highly sought after for their ornamental qualities and easy care.

As this plant matures and its stems will sprawl and hang, creating an eye-catching fountain of fleshy tails. Each stem is covered in silver spikes, giving it a furry appearance.

The flowers are a bright, salmon red and can grow up to 5cm across. They open along the stems in the warmer months of spring and summer. A cold winter will encourage flowering so find a sheltered spot outside for your Monkey Tail to promote this. 

A fun plant to watch grow and one that if cared for right will last generations!

*As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary slightly.
