The hard-haired monkey tail column is a perennial, long-columnar, hanging-type succulent plant with soft spines that are slightly hard, white in color, resembling thick animal fur. The fur on the monkey tail column is slightly yellowish, long, soft, and does not prick the hands. The flowers of the monkey tail column are pink with white edges on the petals and are easy to bloom, lasting from early summer to autumn. The flower shape is similar to that of the cactus but larger, and the flowers remain open even at night. The monkey tail column is cross-pollinated, and the mature fruits are hidden among the soft spines.
The hard-haired monkey tail column is not very tolerant of direct sunlight. During the growing period, water thoroughly when dry, and try to give less water to mature plants. Summer is the growing season for the hard-haired monkey tail column, and the plant also needs some shade and ventilation. From July to September, during the high-temperature period, the plant requires a cool and ventilated environment. From September to December, water should also be given when the soil is completely dry. During the cold winter, when temperatures drop below 2 degrees Celsius, it is best to reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant period. Less water can prevent frostbite and root rot caused by low temperatures. In dry potting soil, the hard-haired monkey tail column is relatively cold-tolerant. During the growing period, water should be given when the soil is completely dry, and avoid overhead watering as poor ventilation can lead to rot. In spring, watering should be gradual, and attention should be paid to weather changes. The hard-haired monkey tail column is relatively easy to care for. Propagation mainly involves sowing and dividing cuttings, as well as grafting.
