The Monkey Tail Cactus Cutting (3 Pack) is a great option for growers who want to propagate this unique trailing cactus at home. The long hanging stems of this cactus are covered in soft white spines that resemble a monkey’s tail. These cuttings allow collectors and plant enthusiasts to grow their own mature plants from healthy propagation pieces.
Native to the mountainous regions of Bolivia, this cactus naturally grows on rocky slopes where its stems drape and cascade downward. When rooted and mature, the Monkey Tail Cactus can produce long trailing stems that may reach several feet, making it a perfect plant for hanging baskets, elevated planters, or container displays. The fuzzy white spines give the plant a soft, decorative appearance while protecting the stems.
Under the right growing conditions, mature plants may produce vibrant red tubular flowers that emerge along the stems during warmer months. These colorful blooms create a beautiful contrast with the silvery white spines and add extra ornamental value to this already striking cactus.
How to Plant Monkey Tail Cactus Cuttings
Allow the cut end of the cactus cutting to dry and form a callus for several days before planting. Fill a container with a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix, then place the callused end about 1–2 inches into the soil. Lightly press the soil around the base to keep it stable. Place the pot in bright indirect light and wait about 7–10 days before watering, so the cutting has time to begin developing roots.
Monkey Tail Cactus Cutting Care
Monkey Tail Cactus cuttings prefer bright light to full sun and grow best in a well-draining cactus soil mix. Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent rot. These cacti prefer warm temperatures around 65–85°F and should be protected from frost. They grow best outdoors in USDA zones 9–11, but can also be grown in containers indoors in cooler climates where they receive plenty of sunlight.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Monkey Tail Cactus cuttings are an excellent way to grow this unusual cactus from propagation pieces. With proper light, well-draining soil, and minimal watering, these cuttings can root successfully and develop into beautiful trailing plants that add texture and character to any cactus or succulent collection.

Great socks
Size: Medium, Color: Pink - 647
Well-made and comfortable to wear. Great for golf and other outdoor activities. Like them because they do not show above shoes.

These ACTUALLY stay put all day long - I was skeptical, but am so glad I took a chance on these
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I was so skeptical about whether these would stay on my feet all day without sliding down into my shoe - I’ve tried so many socks in the past with the silicone strip on the heel which failed.
I’ve owned these for a couple months now and they have never slipped down - they stay put all day! I love the variety of colors to choose from, and the value per pack is great since six pairs come per pack (I thought it was only three when I first purchased and was pleasantly surprised by the additional pairs). They also have perfect thickness - not too warm to wear during the summer months with sneakers; I live in a tropical climate, though, so I’m not sure how they will do in cooler climates. I’ve washed each pair once or twice and the color and quality of the silicone has stayed so far (knock on wood).
Overall: high recommend based on my experience so far!

No show but stays on
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I wear these socks daily. They truly don’t show with my workout shoes or with hey dudes. But the best thing about them is that they actually stay on your foot. I work out hard and I don’t ever have to pull them up. I do wish they were just a little bit thicker than they are, but they are definitely a product I will buy again.
