The Golden Monkey Tail Cactus (Cleistocactus winteri subs. colademononis) is a showstopper known for its long, trailing stems covered in soft, golden-yellow spines that resemble—you guessed it—a monkey’s tail! This unique cactus is fast-growing and especially striking in a hanging planter, where its fuzzy stems can drape and curl dramatically. In spring and summer, it may reward you with bright red tubular flowers that contrast beautifully against its golden fur.
Despite its wild appearance, the Golden Monkey Tail is low maintenance and easy to care for. It thrives in bright light and prefers to dry out completely between waterings, making it an excellent choice for sunny windows or bright indoor spots.
