Frequently Asked Questions about Monkey Tail Cactus Plants

  • How do I plant an unrooted Monkey Tail Cactus cutting? Allow the cut end to dry and callus for 3-7 days. Then, insert the callused end about 1-2 inches deep into well-draining succulent or cactus soil. Do not water immediately; wait a week or two before light watering to encourage root development.
  • What size are these Monkey Tail Cactus cuttings? Each unrooted cutting measures approximately 3.5 to 5 inches in length, providing a good starting size for propagation.
  • What kind of light does a Monkey Tail Cactus need? These plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the stems.
  • How often should I water my Monkey Tail Cactus? Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. During dormancy (winter), reduce watering significantly. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems for this plant.
  • Will this Monkey Tail Cactus plant produce flowers? Yes, mature Monkey Tail Cacti can produce beautiful, bright red to orange flowers, typically in spring or early summer, given adequate light and proper care.
