Golden Rat Tail Cleistocactus Brookeae

Q: Benefits

✔ Trailing Growth Habit – Cascading stems make it perfect for hanging baskets and raised planters . ✔ Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance – Thrives in dry conditions with minimal care. ✔ Fast-Growing & Sprawling – Ideal as ground cover or for creating dense, flowing arrangements . ✔ Brilliant Orange-Pink Flowers – Blooms in spring and summer, attracting pollinators.

Q: Cactus Care

✔ After Arrival: Let your Golden Rat Tail acclimate in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust. ✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun to partial shade for the best growth and flowering. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 25°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it in extreme cold. ✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11

The Cleistocactus winteri commonly known as the Golden Rat Tail, is a fast-growing, trailing cactus known for its soft, golden spines and cascading stems. Native to Bolivia, this drought-tolerant and low-maintenance species is perfect for hanging baskets, rock gardens, and ground cover in desert landscapes.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil.
