Monkey tail cactus care

Post by wayoutwest302 »

I recently got a money tail cactus and was wondering about whether I should put it in front of the window to get direct sunlight or not? I have read the monkey tail likes lots of sunlight and read that it likes filtered light. Does anyone have any experience with growing these that can help?

I had to look up "Monkey Tail Cactus" on the Web as it's not a common name we use in the UK. As far as I am concerned mine just gets the same culture as the rest of my collection, but I have had Cleistocactus (where Hunt moved it to) burn in full sun. See cultivation information here:-
