Hildewintera Colademononis Monkey Tail

Hildewintera colademononis, commonly known as Monkey Tail Cactus, is a unique and visually striking cactus native to Bolivia. It is characterized by its long, trailing stems covered in soft, hair-like spines that give it the appearance of a monkey's tail. These stems can grow several feet in length and produce vibrant red or orange flowers, typically blooming in spring and summer. The Monkey Tail Cactus is a popular choice for hanging baskets and is known for its relatively easy care, thriving in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS 
Place the cutting horizontally on top of the soil or upright. Roots typically form within two weeks. During this time, water the cutting only modestly when roots begin to appear. Ensure the plant is in a bright area during the root formation process. To prevent leaves from burning, gradually introduce the plant to direct sunlight.
