This cactus is so beautiful. It looks like foxes little hanging tails. It looks great in this hanging basket. It will be more happy now. And it looks so gold when the sun hit this beautiful plant. Thank you Lyn. Many hugs and kisses from me to you two.
So true haha this cactus is just like little Fox's tails :-D its a beauty of a cactus to grow and makes a wonderful hanging basket too :-D thanks so much dear Olga for your wonderful comments and for watching and Hansie and I are sending you and CUTIEPIE Phoebe an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle to Greece for a MAGICAL evening XXXX
This is such a cute little cactus with such a soft-looking tail...I've never heard of it before. Thanks Lynn!!!
So happy you love this cactus Terry :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
That is an amazing, beautiful plant. I love hanging pots. I love it when a plant volunteers to be a companion to another plant too. Hope your day is really good!
So happy you love this beauty Hank :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle to California for a wonderful weekend ahead XXXX
It always amazes me how comfortable you and Hans are being a little rough with your cactus plants. I treat them like they are thin glass and it takes a great deal of time when I do things like this as opposed to your flipping them upside and getting on. Nice!
haha I am amazed that Hans and I have not got leather hands by now haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
What a beautiful plant. Lynn, I want to say thank you to you and Han's for such inspirational videos - a couple of years ago after having watched your channel for a few months, I decided to plant some Cleistocactus seeds that I bought from a supplier in Sweden. I am very happy to say that I had great success and am now the proud owner of several of these beautiful plants. Big thumbs up.
Thats wonderful news Paul :-D I am so happy to read that, these cacti are so beautiful and its so rewarding to grow them from seed, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
Such a cool looking cactus, another one put on my wish list :)
haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
This one is on my list as well!
Beautiful cactus. Enjoyed the video.
So happy you loved the cactus and the video Kathy :-D this cactus is a beauty :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic weekend XXXX
Hahaha, what a funny and lovely cactus, so fluffy. First time I see one, thank you. I must find one for me, I looove it.
So happy you love this beauty Fernanda :-D the hanging stems are incredible on this cactus :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
I have the golden variety coming in a few days. I'm excited to have my first hanging cactus.
*Tech tip:
When replanting a hanging pot, use a flat head screwdriver to pry apart the S hook and remove the chains until finished, then fasten them back and crimp shut the S hook to secure the leaders.
Thats fantastic news you have the Golden Rats tail arriving, these cacti are so awesome and I love how they trail down, and thats a brilliant tip with the screwdriver, thanks so much, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic weekend XXXX
A really amazing cactus Lyn! Love it! Those hairy locks are beautiful! Nicely repotted! Hope you Lyn and Hans will have an amazing Friday afternoon! Lots of love from Sylvia!
So happy you love this woolly hairy Monkey's tail Cactus Sylvia :-D I am so happy to say its blooming today, I will be filming another video on the blooms, I love its hairiness and it feels like a furry kitten to touch, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a super afternoon XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon I hope you see this Lynn...I got a monkey tail from a box store last month and its tall and started to lean. The question is how long does it take to actually 'hang"? I have to transplant it soon and give it space to hang...will its arms start to fall over the pot and how long will it take???....
@@green-eyedlady5354 Thats wonderful you have got a Monkeys tail cactus, they usually start to lean over the side of the pot once the arms reach about a foot in height, they then start to lean over and hang and then more arms will start to grow from the base of the cactus, it can take a couple of years or more depending on how fast the original cactus grows, thanks so much for watching and happy growing with your Monkeys tail cactus, wishing you a wonderful plant powered day XXXX
Very beautiful cactus! It looks like a giant tarantula, or fox tail! Thanks for sharing.
haha Mary :-D so true :-D this cactus is just like a big hairy Tarantula :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful evening XXXX

haha Dawn :-D we can relate so much to running out of space :-D this cactus is a wonderful furry beauty with its soft stems and hangs like a big furry spider haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX

A repot into a basket finally haha
Che bella 😍😍😍👍
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
That cactus looks like a bunch of furry cats tails! Ha ha ha 🐈
haha Elliot :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Hi Lynn, thanks for the great video - exactly what I want to do now. The only difference is that mine only has one tail at the moment - would you recommend to cut into two pieces to fasten the process or shall I just repot the one tail to a hanging basket and let it grow into multiple tails by itself, please? Thanks for your advice in advance! Jon
Hi Jon :-D the good news is the one tail will eventually start to branch out from the base and over time you will get a multi stemmed plant, I would repot the one tail and let it grow into multiple tails by itself, Happy New Year to you and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, Sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for an incredible 2022 ahead XXXX
Very unusual cactus, it looks like a fury animal.
haha so true Miche its like a big furry Spider :-D thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments and support and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
I love your plant
So happy you love this beauty Diane
😍😍👏👏👏👏
thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
Just received my first one yesterday (baby). It has arrived bare rooted so have just repotted it. When should I water it? Love it ❤❤
So happy you have got one of these stunning Cleistocactus colademonsis Monkey Tails Heather :-D they are gorgeous cacti to grow, thats wonderful you have re potted it, its best to wait about 10 days after repotting before watering, this is to help the roots settle into the new soil and pot, thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER and have an amazing sunday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks so much Lyn for replying to my question. I so appreciate your help 👍👍❤️
@@heatherstephens9295 XXXX ❤❤❤❤🥰
Very informative
thanks so much Patricia for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a brilliant Monday XXXX
Lovely plant Lynn, I recently got a small one of these, it will be many years before it as big as yours 😂
Thats wonderful news you have got one of these beauties too Fiona :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Lyn as you know I use those plastic baskets x
I have one beautiful Rat tail and just love it, left it in a south facing window all winter with no water in a cool setting, got it in sept of last year I also have the golden, I’m from Alberta Canada, not sure what kind of sun they like in the summer and water needs as well, can you help with that please as I have not had them through the summer but the new growth is amazing and boy are they heathy, my Succulents do amazing, been doing it for a lot of years...It is 14 Celsius to 7 Celsius at night and have it outside on my deck which is South facing will I hurt it, if so I will bring it in.
Hi Monica :-D the good news is this cactus can take plenty of sun during the summer months and lots of water too, I keep my Rats tails well watered from now until September :-D 7c is perfect temperature for most of the Succulents and cacti and I always keep mine at a minimum of no lower than 5c :-D I bet your Rats tail is a beauty indeed :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald isle and have a wonderful weekend ahead XXXXX
Hi, I purchased a small rooted cutting that is only about 6 inches long. It somehow cracked halfway through a little bit above the bottom base area. Will it recover on its own, or is there something I should do to help it? Any advice is appreciated. This is the first time I've ever owned one and don't know much about them.
Hi Shannon :-D yes dont you worry, your cutting should recover on its own, sometimes if the plant takes up a little bit too much water too fast the stem can split open but it should make a full recovery, here is a video where one of my Cleistocactus rats tail cacti cuttings cracked open and it has now made a full recovery
Do you leave it out in the rain all the time or do you bring it in
I leave it out in the rain as the soil dries out fast, but if we have a few days of continuous rain I bring it into the polytunnel, thanks so much for watching and your wonderful comments and have a fantastic plant powered Sunday XXX
I just purchased one so I was kind of interested in that but you make lots of great videos and I thank you for that
I can see your huge thanksgiving cactus left in the floor there have you not managed to pot it yet haha
haha :-D I re potted it the other day :-D I still have to upload the vid haha :-D thanks so much Ben for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a BRILLIANT evening XXXXXX
I really like this cactus .Is gorgeus .i would like a graft .Did you orther it online ? Give _ me the site
So happy you love this cactus :-D I bought this from my friend in Dublin :-D thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic week ahead XXXX
Just when I thought I had my final plant wishlist down.... I have been looking for one online (after mixed experiences with buying seed online) and I've come across Hildewinteria colademononis. Do you know if this is the same variety Lyn? After your lovely video, I've my heart set on the soft hairs!
Hi Nathalie :-D yes the good news is this is the same variety
@@desertplantsofavalon A beautiful cleisto colademonis arrived in 2 pieces sadly!! I did some cactus surgery on it to get a clean cut instead of the messy wound from breaking. Rubbed cinnamon on both ends and both pieces are drying out currently. All tips I learned from your channel so thank you for the demo videos. I'm now keeping my fingers crossed the top piece will grow roots and the potted up bottom piece will develop regrowth as well.
For some reason mine is growing straight up and down. It's about 2 ft tall. I figured it would lean over but it's not. Lol
Thats wonderful you have this cactus too, and wow with ours growing upwards, I have another smaller one I have grown from seed that is growing upright too, it will be interesting to see if they lean over as they mature, thanks so much Penny for your wonderful comment and support and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
OH my, I want one lyn it is beautiful. I never seen one with the long hair. Is it related to the rats tail cactus? Because I have several of those but the hair is short and very spiky.
So happy you love this cactus :-D yes this beauty is related to the Rat's tail cactus but has longer hair and the hairs are more white and fur like :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching Chim and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
And you afraid the water will deteriorate the wicker quickly
Hi there, the wicker baskets last for about 2-3 years and then need to be replaced but the next time I repot I will be using a plastic pot XXXX
Rando question for you. 🌵❤️
How long does it take for your monkey tail to dry out after you water it?
Great video! I wish I could send you a picture of mine (maybe pop by your website and try to send one) It’s like three times bigger than yours. Makes me wonder if it’s a hybrid……
Hi Mandy :-D thats so wonderful you have a big Monkeys tail, I bet its a beauty, my Monkeys tail usually dries out after a day after giving it a good watering, if its a sunny and windy day the soil will dry out within a few hours, thanks so much Mandy for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks! good to know! All my other cacti dry out quickly. Maybe not a day, but within a few days. I’m in MInnesota in the USA, and it’s not as damp and as wet as by you, but this is the situation. This plant came from California and it takes about a week to dry out after a watering. Which made me panic a bit but when I asked the grower, they said it takes about a week to dry out by then. Granted they are in CA and it’s sunnier there more consistently there and in the Winter it will be a different story but it seems this plant likes being wet that long. Which is bonkers to me. It’s in a pretty rich compost, but still a little airy. It’s so happy and I just got it and dont want to have to repot it right now into a grittier mix, but do you think I should given I’m in MN? Or do you think it’s ok because it’s been growning that way and happy? It is massive so maybe it needs more water but a week to dry out seems crazy to me, but like I said, he seems to like it but then do a run a little risk because I’m in MN instead of CA? Our summers here are hot and we get about 200 sunny days a year, and I’ll be careful not to water him then have a week of rain or whatever, but does it seem too risky to you to take so long to dry out?
Loooooong post. Lots to explain! 🙂🌵❤️
He’s also in a 10” plastic pot and and barely fits in it. He will beed reporting in Spring but am I nuts into try and keep him in the heavier mix in MN? 😬 Better safe than sorry and repot into an airier mix?
@@ExpertAquariumGirl Hi Mandy :-D I think because your Monkeys tail is a big and more mature cactus it will definitely be safe to go a week in damp soil, these Monkey tails can definitely take more moisture and go longer in wet soil than the Desert types can, I would leave it in the same pot and soil its in,but if you have a few days of continuous rain its best to cover it to protect it from excess rain, here in Ireland we can get a lot of rain even in Summer, and if we get 3 days or more of rain I put my Monkeys tail in the house or polytunnel to help it dry out faster, but these cacti can take a lot more rain and stay longer in wet soil during the Spring and Summer months than the other types of desert cacti e.g the Barrel cacti varieties, XXXXX
@@ExpertAquariumGirl Hi Mandy :-D its best to leave him in the same pot and soil he is in to let him acclimatise to the new conditions from California to Minnesota, and then give him a repot into a new pot and soil next spring, if you can protect him from any rain that continues for 3 days or more your Monkeys tail will be ok, XXXX
gorgeous how long it takes to grow this size from the seeds? thanks :)
Hi Ligita :-D it can take many years at least 8-10 years for these plants to grow this size from seeds
Did your hands burn at all after potting the plant ?
Hi there :-D I used to get bad stabs years ago when potting up cacti haha but thankfully now I think my hands are like metal haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon I planted a mixed bag of cactus seeds about a month ago now about a hundred germinated when I only expected a dozen
@@lightwayvez2 Thats fantastic news
I didn't got the soil medium please share
Hi there, I use a soil medium of 3 equal parts of Loam soil, Sharp horticultural sand, and grit or perlite, but you can use any good quality well draining commercial cactus soil, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Friday XXXX
Oh Lyn I might have that then I have a few cactus I don’t know what they are I’ll post pics on our chat
:( I collected both a golden monkey tail and the white, fuzzier version of this and made it into year THREE with both. I had pups at the base of both and the golden was growing so fast!
I set them out for sun this spring in the same spot I’ve put them for the last couple of years and one morning as I’m checking my plants with coffee I see huge chunks missing from them. I was so confused lol. I looks up at the tree nearby, I look around for animals, I’m trying to figure out if it’s something that fell but there’s no damage to anything else nearby. I moved them into my screen porch and mourn the damage over coffee…still wondering what happened…….then the next morning I see the culprit sitting on the little table. A CROW! A stinkin CROW pecked my precious cacti. :(
I didn’t think a bird would want to peck at such a prickly thing! Crows are a lot bigger up close than I ever realized thought lol. He was quite large.
Anyway, on the more tender, fuzzy version I’ve cut away the damage and saved the ends of two legs. I hope they will reroot and maybe the main will pup back out at the base. It was nearly eaten clean through.
The golden was damaged but it wasn’t as deep so I figure I can leave that one. (Should I leave it or cut it back as well?) It pecked about 3” from the base on both long legs of the golden and got at one of the 4 pups :(. Hopefully as it grows out I won’t see it and if I do, I can tell a tale of a pesky crow lol.
The fuzzy one grows SO much slower. Neither look like yours….which is confusing lol.
The one I have that’s similar in color is not fuzzy. Maybe it’s just less mature?. The legs are about 8-9” each (golden) but they are very prickly and less hairy. Now my white one is hairy like yours but it’s not yellow at all. It’s def more white. I’m now wondering if there’s another variety I need to hunt! You fuel my obsession 🤣
My little girl has leukemia so we began collecting cacti and rhipsalis…..easy to care for plants. We are away from home a lot and these do seem to thrive with neglect! We love ur videos. Ty for sharing ur expertise! I was debating a new pot for both of these this year as they are beginning to hang over the sides so much that they will need a cradle soon. (I make a hanger from jute or rope to set the clay pot in). I had heard they like to be crowded as their root system is shallow? I even wonder if maybe my fuzzy guy is in too large a pot. Anyway. I could ask u a million questions. Thank u again :)
Love from Alabama!
Oh no with the naughty Crow, so sorry to hear the Crow has taken chunks from your two Monkey tail Cacti, Crows can be huge and I have seen Crows take flower buds off and especially fruit pods off and fly past the window with them in their mouths LOL!, I think its best to leave your Golden Monkeys tail as any damage should heal over and new shoots will grow from the damage, and the fuzzy Monkey tail cuttings should re root again as cuttings, they root well from cuttings, they do like to be kept a bit more crowded as they have shallow root systems and are more easier to get to flower when the roots are slightly more rootbound, I repotted my Fluffy Monkeys tail two years ago and it didn't flower last year but put on more growth, and hope it will flower again this year, the good news is any damage will repair itself and new growth will come back from the base as new pups, these fuzzy white Monkeys tail gets more hairier as it matures and the golden Monkeys gets more golden in colour as it matures, but I think that there are a few different hybrids of these cacti now :-D thats so wonderful that you and your daughter love Cacti and Rhipsalis, they are wonderful plants to grow and easy to care for too, Rhipsalis is a wonderful group of cacti to grow
i loooove your videos!! you inspire me to have my own cacti :) I hope you reply to this i love u soon much!!
So happy to hear that I inspire you to have your own cacti :-D growing cacti is an incredible passion :-D thanks so much Alfred for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Hi Lynn I bought what I thought was a Monkey tail cactus but my plant group tells me it's a golden ret tail. I was wondering if you can confirm. I wrote to you before, I'm originally from Dublin but live in Toronto. If it is infact Golden Rattail can you let me know where i can get a true monkey tail. Thank you my dear, I love your videos.
