Description:
Cleistocactus winteri ssp. colademono is a perennial succulent from the Americas, known for its long, supple stems with soft spines that resemble primate appendages. This lithophyte thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and tolerates some full sun, requiring weekly watering in spring and summer. It stores water in its stems for fall and winter, making it drought-tolerant. The plant's unique form and adaptability to various light conditions make it a fascinating addition to cactus collections.
