Monkey Tail Cactus is fast growing and easy to care for. As the long trailing stems mature, they become covered with thick soft hair making them resemble furry tails. Native to rocky cliff face habitats in Bolivia, they appreciate moderate water when actively growing and should be kept dry during periods of dormancy. Because they grow quickly, they benefit from annual repotting and periodic fertilizing with a cactus fertilizer low in nitrogen and high in potassium. They will not necessarily need a larger pot when repotting, but when given fresh soil they will reward you with new growth. Monkey Tail Cactus requires bright diffused light to maintain thick tails. If they do not receive enough light, you will notice new growth becoming thin.
