    Mine is about 5 years old, I give pieces away once a year. It's about 3 feet long at the longest pieces. It pipes out 3 ish arms a year. It flowers basically non-stop from May to September . It's in a terracotta, that sits in a basket with some of my other hanging guys. It's in full sun mothers day to Halloween and I water it maybe 3 times once it comes back in for winter. I'm in zone 7. It is very content in unheated sunroom in an east facing window.. it goes down to 40 when it's really cold out.

      Wow that’s awesome! I just got one that is a nice size abour 9’inches with 4 arms and tonssss of babies shooting out at the base. I see a bloom just beginning . I’m wondering how long it would take to bloom from when you first see it , I’m so excited lol! Also , I’m like terrified to water mine ahah!!! Do I water when completely bone dry? Or just a few months ? I’ve been researching care like crazy . I finally snagged one last week 🎉❤❤❤❤❤

  • @greenandsheen
    @greenandsheen Год назад +22

    The growth in each update blew my freaking mind!! The roots too!! 🤯🤯🤯 like that thing is growing so fast for a cactus! I’m not a cacti loving typa person but I’m highly considering adding this one to my collection ☺️

    Hi I’m glad I came across your video. I brought a 3 inch monkey tail cactus cutting a few months ago and planted it in the smallest pot ever. After watching this video I think it’s time to repot into a slightly larger pot for the rest of the summer

  • @audreyr6954
    @audreyr6954 Год назад +5

    Honestly I love how wild it looks haha. This was a really fun video to see all the progress, I was shocked to see those baby tail roots!

  • @Alizardlovesyou
    @Alizardlovesyou Год назад +12

    This was totally my experience with my trailing cactuses! Not seeing as much growth on top but when I checked their roots found it basically super root bound! My monkey tail grows from both the base and the tips; my hypothesis is that it's about the type of cutting it is... Or root space in the soil? Haha 🤷 All learning together :D

    Oh! they look so good. I also have my eyes on the jade plant. I could spend hours watching people repot their plants. I find it very relaxing.

  • @Sophia1991sd
    @Sophia1991sd Год назад +1

    I'm not a cactus girl but I love Monkey Tail. I started mine from two tiny cuttings from my auntie's big Monkey Tail and now it has filled it's pot. mine produces narrow shoots, I guess because the poor thing is always thirsty🙈it's in my balcony in almost full sun in a tiny terracotta pot and dries within a day in +35°C summer days here and I'm too lazy to water her more than once every ten days or so. I have to bring it back inside before it gets too cold and give him a much bigger pot.
    BTW mine looked wierd too but when the babies which grow at base get taller and bigger, they will cover the base of other shoots and it will look more uniform

    @HerPlantPalette Год назад

    Omg this video is everything!!! 😁 I love the part when you were questioning what you've created. I laughed. I think it looks awesome the way it is and that new growth looks to be super promising when it fills out. You actually inspired me to get a monkey tail but crystal star nursery didn't have any at the time i was looking so I got a golden rat tail from them instead. I love mine and hes just doing his thing but after watching your journey I'm super excited to begin propigating mine. Love your content. Keep on keepin it real gurl. Much love. Thank you. 💚

    This is a pretty perfect repot for spooky season! It did look a lot like a spider by the end!
    I have one that’s only got the single “tail” and I’ve been thinking of chopping it so I can have more grow from the base, your video has given me motivation to give it a go!

    @DaenysT Год назад

    Omg I can’t believe how quick these things grow roots! I’ve had mine for maybe 5 months and it hasn’t done much growing for me lately so after watching your video I decided to check the roots.. WOW was mine root-bound! 😂 So glad I watched your video! Can’t wait to see how your weirdo grows ❤

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  Год назад

      Omg right!! I was so shocked at the amount of roots lol

  • @kellybaker503
    @kellybaker503 Год назад +1

    I don’t own one nor am I a cactus girl but this was a great video! Favorite yet I think! That growth was so exciting and rewarding even if it wasn’t my own. I squealed with you!
    I do like the idea of putting all the babies together for a more uniform plant but I think I would leave the babies attached to the mother plant at the base. Maybe trim the three new ones off again. I still cannot believe that growth in such a short time!
    Fantastic video!

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  Год назад

      Thank you so much Kelly! Really glad you enjoyed 🤗 and yes good idea, that's what I'm thinking of doing! I'm excited to see what becomes of it next summer.

  • @dorothykern8537
    @dorothykern8537 Год назад +1

    Wow!! This cactus is amazing!! I might need to find one of those. With cacti (and succulents), you can reduce the root ball by about half every year. I do it with all of my cacti and they don't mind.

    @jennifersilva7434 Год назад

    That was awesome. That is all rooting like crazy, I can't believe how fast the cuttings rooted!! I have only had mine for about a month, I bought 3 and potted them all together, they're about 12 inches long, starting to grow something on the tips. Now I know if I cut them it'll promote growth on the top 😅

  • @mcb4707

  • @Anah-B
    @Anah-B Год назад

    SHE IS LOOKING SO CUTE! I really need to check the roots on mine.. that root growth is insane! So my monkey tail cactus is a 7” terracotta pot with about 7-8 single cuttings (propagated in the last year). It’s super interesting to see how your mother stem EXPLODED! Mine are all growing long from the tips rather than pupping out. I’ve had it in an east facing window which was good enough.. but I’m noticing the stems are really reaching for light and growing rather thin. I moved it to a south facing window about a week ago so hopefully it takes off 🤞🏼
    I like your idea of replanting all the pups together for a more even pot… you can keep the mother stem seperate and let it be a freakin monkey tail pup factory 🤣

  • @efrondosa
    @efrondosa Год назад

    Mine was growing so nicely as one long tail until I accidentally bumped the tip off. Now it has three new little babes coming out, which I’m honestly not a fan of aesthetically!
    I like your idea of harvesting the juvenile growths each year off a wonky mother and planting anew. A new spring tradition 🌵😁

    Perfect for "Spooky Season" you should decorate the pot.

  • @dilligaf8349
    @dilligaf8349 6 месяцев назад

    Awesome job and a great video. If you feel like experimenting look into grafting. there are people that graft a variety to one cactus.
    Grafting pumps the growth and from a small piece it should push a few babies. Once ready cut off, callous then root.
    Monkey tails are awesome, it looks like someone glued the flowers on it. Shame I can't post a pic here.
    Kinda feel at home here with all the other lovers of this plant

    love these progress videos! he's going to be so full soon! I'm excited to see it continue to grow. Also I would be so tempted to propagate the skinny-to-thick ones lol 😂I wonder how you can get them all more uniform.. maybe a grow light would help? (idk anything planty)

    Great video. I also have a monkey tail cactus and and keep them east so planning to do the same thing.
    But they are in plastic pots top heavy. I added pebbles to keep balance. I need to get a few terracotta pot. I have east window normally but last year had them outside getting south and west sun and grew well.🤗🌵
    After watching your video I need to think where the plant is going to be placed 🤔

    I really liked that you showed the progress over time in one video. It was worth it, keeping lips zipped about this cacti for so long 😅
    I have two MTCs and they are so beautiful. I got them like two years ago, I think. They are full and getting long, but the arms are not as thick as your mother MTC cacti.
