Monkey Tail Cactus: A Fuzzy Friend
Monkey Tail Cactus (scientific name: Cleistocactus winteri) is a popular houseplant known for its distinctive appearance. It’s named after its long, trailing stems that resemble a monkey’s tail, covered in fluffy, white spines.
Key features:
* Unique appearance: The long, cylindrical stems are covered in soft, white spines, giving it a fuzzy texture.
* Easy care: It’s a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it suitable for beginners.
* Blooming: In the right conditions, it can produce vibrant orange or pink flowers.
* Indoor or outdoor: It can be grown both indoors and outdoors in warm climates.
Care tips:
* Sunlight: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the plant.
* Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
* Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix.
* Fertilizer: Fertilize once a year during the growing season with a balanced cactus fertilizer.
