What kind of cactus is this? I got it about 20 years ago. It was maybe 4” high with a cute little wavy and furry top. It has metal rods for support now. Does anyone else have one of these?

Monkey tail cactus, perhaps? Or something in the same family? Here’s the ID to compare. Hope this helps!

Yep monkey tail

### Kellie ha commentato il 2024-10-26

I don’t think it’s that one. It has a base. The fuzzy stuff was about a half inch high and did t start sending out shoots until maybe 5 years ago. Or do Monkey Tails start from a base? It’s almost like two different cacti.

looks like a crested monkey tail cactus that was grafted onto a dragonfruit base. you can trim off the long pieces and propagate them to create a new monkey tail and return the original plant to a similar state to what you got it in.

Thank you! That makes sense to me now.
