Monkey Tail Cactus Hildewintera colademononis
"The Monkey's Tail Cactus" This cactus was unknown to the industry until recently and is one of the most sought-after cacti in the world. Stems are fully cascading and form masses of soft harmless spines as it ages. Red/orange flowers appear over warmer months.
Position - Full sun or partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour. Flowering will only occur in good light.
Watering - can be watered all year round but allow to dry in winter in colder climates for short periods.
Feeding - 50% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
Repotting - Best in baskets; can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
