Hildewintera colademononis Monkey Tail Cactus succulent plant Four plants in pot

Description: 1. LIGHT REQUIREMENTIt does not need direct sun but instead, it needs indirect bright light and some shade.2. WATERYou will not have to water the Monkey Tail Cactus until the soil has dried out. The warmer the air, the more it will need to be watered. The soil will take longer to dry out if the weather is cloudy and cool. During the fall and winter, when it is in its dormant, or resting, stage, the soil needs to be even drier. The cactus needs this resting time to bloom. Also, if you water it during the cold and winter season, it causes the frosting of the cactus and kills it. The main times that you will need to water it is in the spring and summer.3. CLIMATEUSDA Hardiness Zone 9b4. SOILThe best soil for a Monkey Tail Cactus is a cactus mix that will quickly drain. If you do not use a cactus mix, then the soil needs to light and well aerated. This means it needs to be sandy and loamy. You will only need to fertilize it when it is growing actively. The liquid plant food should be high in potassium and low-nitrogen. Dilute the fertilizer with water so you can use it as a liquid to administer it.5. TEMPERATUREMost would figure that it being a cactus, that they need hot temperatures but the Monkey Tail Cactus can survive in temperatures that are below freezing.6. REPOTTINGWhen you repot Monkey Tail Cactus, it should be done once a year after the growing and flowering season is done. If you are repotting a mature cactus, you will need a bigger planter with a new soil mix. You do need to have fertilizer mixed in with the new soil and well aerated. The new cuttings need a lot of nutrients to grow and flourish. Make sure that the pot you use gives them plenty of room for their roots.9. FLOWERSThe Monkey Tail Cactus has large bright red flowers with long, white, soft, hair-like spines. The flowers will last for a few days before they turn to fruit for a short period of time. The foliage can be silver/gray, cream/tan, light, dark, or medium green.
