- How often should I water my Monkey Tail Cactus?
- Water the cactus sparingly, only when the soil has completely dried out. Typically, this means watering once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season and even less frequently during winter.
- Can the Monkey Tail Cactus be placed in direct sunlight?
- No, it should be positioned in a bright spot but away from direct sunlight. Direct exposure can cause the spines to yellow and damage the plant.
- Is the Monkey Tail Cactus suitable for beginners?
- Yes, this cactus is excellent for beginners due to its low maintenance requirements. It thrives on neglect, making it ideal for those new to houseplants or often busy.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Monkey Tail Cactus thrives in bright, indirect light. It’s best to protect it from the harsh midday sun to prevent yellowing of its tendrils. Perfect for east or west-facing windows where the light is bright but filtered.
💧 Water
💧▫️▫️ (Low)
This cactus likes it dry! Water sparingly, only when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so let the soil be your guide. In winter, water even less, keeping the soil mostly dry.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Monkey Tail Cactus enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures during the dormant winter period, but keep it away from draughts and cold windows.
💦 Humidity
💦▫️▫️ (Low)
Low humidity environments suit this cactus just fine, mimicking its native arid conditions. No need to mist or provide extra humidity—simple care is best.
🪴 Repotting
Repot every 2-3 years or when the cactus has outgrown its pot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent water retention, which could harm the plant.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a great option for pet owners. However, its spines can be sharp, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.
🏠 Recommended locations at home
Ideal spots include well-lit kitchens, living rooms, or offices where it can hang and enjoy the indirect sunlight. Its unique appearance makes it a great conversation starter!
🌿 Air Purifying
While not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, like most plants, it contributes to a healthier indoor environment by adding oxygen and humidity.
✨ Other Plant Features
The Monkey Tail Cactus is praised for its unique, trailing growth and minimal care needs, making it an ideal plant for both beginners and experienced plant lovers.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
