Monstrose Monkey Tale (on graft) - Exact Plant in 3.5 inch pot (D0289)

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Monstrose Monkey Tale (Hildewintera colademononis monstrose form) on graft is a rare, sculptural cactus known for its wild, twisting growth and soft, furry spines. This form grows in unpredictable, curled spirals that resemble something out of a fantasy garden. Grafted onto a hardy base, it grows faster and stronger than its non-grafted counterparts—making it perfect for collectors who love weird, wonderful, and high-impact specimens.

Care Instructions
Light: Loves bright, direct light. Indoors, place in a sunny window. Outdoors, give it filtered full sun.
Water: Water only when the soil is bone dry. During winter dormancy, reduce watering to once every 4–6 weeks.
Humidity: Thrives in dry air—no misting needed.
Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from frost.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the graft union—make sure both the scion and rootstock are firm and healthy. Avoid letting water pool at the base.
