I’m sure as a creator making these long-term videos isn’t easy, but man as a viewer I love them. Thank you for your dedication!
Yes!!!
💯💯💯
I agree
Do you recommend using cinnamon as a rooting powder ?
I’m not even a cactus girl but I am so invested in this journey omg
Same
Me too🙈
I love that weirdo
haha me too!
I'm amazed by the roots this guy puts out! It makes it feel so rewarding to see root growth like that.
Mine is about 5 years old, I give pieces away once a year. It's about 3 feet long at the longest pieces. It pipes out 3 ish arms a year. It flowers basically non-stop from May to September . It's in a terracotta, that sits in a basket with some of my other hanging guys. It's in full sun mothers day to Halloween and I water it maybe 3 times once it comes back in for winter. I'm in zone 7. It is very content in unheated sunroom in an east facing window.. it goes down to 40 when it's really cold out.
Wow that’s awesome! I just got one that is a nice size abour 9’inches with 4 arms and tonssss of babies shooting out at the base. I see a bloom just beginning . I’m wondering how long it would take to bloom from when you first see it , I’m so excited lol! Also , I’m like terrified to water mine ahah!!! Do I water when completely bone dry? Or just a few months ? I’ve been researching care like crazy . I finally snagged one last week 🎉❤❤❤❤❤
How do you get it to bloom?
It’s always a good day when Fern posts 🥰
Thank you for watching 🤗
Can you do an update on this cactus? I was so inspired by your monkey tail that I got my own!
I was clapping when the mother plant was revealed with all the new offshoots. Love it! Such a satisfying journey
The growth in each update blew my freaking mind!! The roots too!! 🤯🤯🤯 like that thing is growing so fast for a cactus! I’m not a cacti loving typa person but I’m highly considering adding this one to my collection ☺️
A lot of cacti grow surprisingly fast! I have a prickly pear that’s tripled in size in 3-4 months 😊
omg i love how the tip of the cactus is growing three thumbs. i honestly think it has more personality with it
Ah! The baby monkey tails are so cute!!
right 🥺
Wow, I can't believe how quickly that grew! I want one now!
Me too. 😁❤️
I was just thinking about adding this plant to my collection. I'm glad to see they're easy to work with.
Yes I find it to be pretty easy and definitely fast growing for a cactus!
Hi I’m glad I came across your video. I brought a 3 inch monkey tail cactus cutting a few months ago and planted it in the smallest pot ever. After watching this video I think it’s time to repot into a slightly larger pot for the rest of the summer
This was totally my experience with my trailing cactuses! Not seeing as much growth on top but when I checked their roots found it basically super root bound! My monkey tail grows from both the base and the tips; my hypothesis is that it's about the type of cutting it is... Or root space in the soil? Haha 🤷 All learning together :D
Honestly I love how wild it looks haha. This was a really fun video to see all the progress, I was shocked to see those baby tail roots!
I'm watching this again on Oct 7 2023 and I am so impressed on how big your monkey tail is now! It gives me hope for my single "ringlet" tail 😂😂 and I just LOVE your hair in this video 💚
So proud of your cactus babies. They are so happy! ❤
I'm amazed at how fast it grows!!! Great video!
I love how your arrangement came out. Those roots look strong
Love these (unintentional) progress videos! Way to care for your monkey tail!! So much growth in so little time! 😍
I do really love this type of video, it’s cool to see all the updates and progress clips combined 💚🌵
Yay! I love propagation videos with results, it's so satisfying and also very helpful! I love your plant and think it looks cool!
I love this video ! Progress videos are the best ones! Thank you for sharing this whole process with us ❤
Oh boy! I was so excited when you showed the babies growing from the base of the Monkey Tail!!
Love it🙂
I loved this video. That Monkey Tail Cactus is perfect for Halloween now 😁 It is so cool! 🙉
I didn’t even know they would grow more from their tips! I just thought it was from the base! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I loved this idea and I love that funky new growth. So cool seeing them put out all those babies
I'm not a cactus girl but I love Monkey Tail. I started mine from two tiny cuttings from my auntie's big Monkey Tail and now it has filled it's pot. mine produces narrow shoots, I guess because the poor thing is always thirsty🙈it's in my balcony in almost full sun in a tiny terracotta pot and dries within a day in +35°C summer days here and I'm too lazy to water her more than once every ten days or so. I have to bring it back inside before it gets too cold and give him a much bigger pot.
BTW mine looked wierd too but when the babies which grow at base get taller and bigger, they will cover the base of other shoots and it will look more uniform
Oh! they look so good. I also have my eyes on the jade plant. I could spend hours watching people repot their plants. I find it very relaxing.
Yes, please keep doing these long update videos! I'm sure they're a lot more difficult to make, but it is so satisfying to get invested in these plants and then have immediate updates. Also, you have the cutest hair in the world omg lol
Omggf I love that your updating so much!!! I was just looking threw your old videos to watch one then I saw NEW UPLOAD! Yayyyy love u so much
Love a long term project video like this!! And what a freaking cool plant. I can’t believe all the roots for a cactus 😳
Wow this plant is doing fantastic! You're making me want one
This video is super satisfying. Thanks, Fern.
Wow. Great success!!! Congratulations on the cactus babies 🎊 🎉
Looks amazing. So fun! Didn’t know I loved this plant, but now I know and have put it on my wish list!
What a beautiful plant! This is exciting, I’ve never rooted a cactus, this went extremely well!
I love it so much, it's literally the cutest!!!🐒🌵
Loved this video this gal is so real....Taking it as it goes being honest and humble thank you..!
Love the plant 🪴 😍 and I do like to see the process/growth over time. Thanks for sharing.
How is your monkey tail doing now? I just found one, and I’m so excited!
Yay!!!! I just went to the local nursery and found one! I’m so so happy!!! It looks alittle quirky, but I love
Super! Uwielbiam cleistocactus colademonsis!
Yassss! Needed this video! ❤ hope you're doing well Fern!
Thank you so much!! 💚
this video was so awesome!!! thanks for all the effort you put in man, it seriously shows! the monkey tail cactus is looking so awesome and i can’t wait to see how it transforms over the years!!
Thank you so much Nina ☺️ I am excited to see how it grows over time, too!
I can't wait for the spring 2024 update on this plant!
This is probably my favorite video of yours !
I know you want a nice full, big pot of the monkey tail but my heart melts a little looking at those cuttings in the tiny pots ☺ they are so cute when they're small
This is one of my favorite cacti!!!! And yours is gorgeous!!! And healthy!!!
Omg this video is everything!!! 😁 I love the part when you were questioning what you've created. I laughed. I think it looks awesome the way it is and that new growth looks to be super promising when it fills out. You actually inspired me to get a monkey tail but crystal star nursery didn't have any at the time i was looking so I got a golden rat tail from them instead. I love mine and hes just doing his thing but after watching your journey I'm super excited to begin propigating mine. Love your content. Keep on keepin it real gurl. Much love. Thank you. 💚
It helps to take a butterknife around the edge of terracotta pots to release the plants
Holy craaaaap dude!!! Alllll the new growth!!!!!
This is my dream plant but I’ve been too intimidated to purchase and this is really making me want one. I’d love to see more updates, I’m invested 😍
Wow!! This cactus is amazing!! I might need to find one of those. With cacti (and succulents), you can reduce the root ball by about half every year. I do it with all of my cacti and they don't mind.
I enjoyed the video, I’m sure it was the soil you mixed, great job.
This is a pretty perfect repot for spooky season! It did look a lot like a spider by the end!
I have one that’s only got the single “tail” and I’ve been thinking of chopping it so I can have more grow from the base, your video has given me motivation to give it a go!
By far my favorite plant in your collection! Your monkey tail has so much character…it’s so cool! 😎
I have one & mine doesn’t grow roots like yours, I’m in awe 🤩
I have a golden rat tail cactus (cleistocactus winteri) and I adore it. Mine grows pups only at the base but also has tons of roots. Nice video, I love the update!
I need to do this to mine so badly. And I am loving these journey of a repot/prop plant! Keep them coming 😊
Thank you so much ☺️☺️
I just got mine this past week from Crystal Star Nursery and am so excited to watch it grow! Definitely was a wish list plant for me
What an interesting looking plant and man those roots!!! Thriving!!!
Your soil mix looks so satisfying haha 🖤 That’s a cool cactus!
Thank you Natasha 🥰🥰
I don’t own one nor am I a cactus girl but this was a great video! Favorite yet I think! That growth was so exciting and rewarding even if it wasn’t my own. I squealed with you!
I do like the idea of putting all the babies together for a more uniform plant but I think I would leave the babies attached to the mother plant at the base. Maybe trim the three new ones off again. I still cannot believe that growth in such a short time!
Fantastic video!
Thank you so much Kelly! Really glad you enjoyed 🤗 and yes good idea, that's what I'm thinking of doing! I'm excited to see what becomes of it next summer.
That was awesome. That is all rooting like crazy, I can't believe how fast the cuttings rooted!! I have only had mine for about a month, I bought 3 and potted them all together, they're about 12 inches long, starting to grow something on the tips. Now I know if I cut them it'll promote growth on the top 😅
Well...I need to get me one of these! This was so satisfying to watch!!
They are so fun to grow! Thanks for watching :)
Update, update! 🤩
omg THANK YOU for making this video!! I have a monkey tail cactus as well, my favorite and only cactus and i think i ruined it when i propagated it a while back. I needed this video, thank you Fern!!!
I love it 🥰 this def needs an update!💚
Legit every since you shared your monkey tail it’s been on my wishlist :) can’t wait to be able to snag one❤❤❤❤❤
You inspired me to get one of these! I found one today long and big! It was a rooted cutting and he sold it to me for 50 cent! 😮 I feel blessed!
One of my favorite videos Fern. Love your weirdo plant. I recently got my monkey tail and found your video very timely. I am obsessed with my monkey tail. Hope it grows funky like yours.
What a fun cactus! I love videos like this. Feel free to make more. 😁
Omg I can’t believe how quick these things grow roots! I’ve had mine for maybe 5 months and it hasn’t done much growing for me lately so after watching your video I decided to check the roots.. WOW was mine root-bound! 😂 So glad I watched your video! Can’t wait to see how your weirdo grows ❤
Omg right!! I was so shocked at the amount of roots lol
This cements my desire to own a monkey tail cactus! Great video, really enjoyable to watch, and I can tell you worked hard on it.
What a fun project.👏🏻
This was so coooooll!!!
This is such a weird and cool cactus haha. Cacti are long term projects, for sure.
The whole thing is so funny! 🤣
Day gets better with your video❤️
Oh I love the little claw it's growing
You are so funny😂 "weird frankenstein mutant", also your hair looks really cute in the last clip! Thanks again for a great video
Oh my goodness. I can't believe it. Just great!
love these progress videos! he's going to be so full soon! I'm excited to see it continue to grow. Also I would be so tempted to propagate the skinny-to-thick ones lol 😂I wonder how you can get them all more uniform.. maybe a grow light would help? (idk anything planty)
Idk why but I enjoyed this video a lot. You don't see very many TH-camrs put effort into like filming time lapse videos. Yet, the results are always fun imo.
I want one of those! They are absolutely beautiful!!
Great vid… Once they’ve calloused over you can plant them in the same pot as the established plant. At times I’ve been lazy and cut and potted straight away
Looks like scorpion. Love the transition of it. Love ya, Fern!🧡
Omg please so more of these
Thank you for doing that! You are amazing!
This is awesome! I've been planning on propping my golden rat tail cactus and seeing the growth from your monkey tail got me really excited. Can't wait! 😃 still hoping I could find a monkey tail in Ontario though. 😅
THE CLAW
That's all i could think of when seeing the 2.5 month growth update 🤣
HAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!
I love this plant and it's funky nature. I say keep it growing and chop it in the spring
i loved this video! i want to see more of this in the future, that monkey tail in a few years will be amazing. Mine is very very tiny, is a cutting that someone give to me months ago, so for now i have to be patient, but i like a lot this journey.
SHE IS LOOKING SO CUTE! I really need to check the roots on mine.. that root growth is insane! So my monkey tail cactus is a 7” terracotta pot with about 7-8 single cuttings (propagated in the last year). It’s super interesting to see how your mother stem EXPLODED! Mine are all growing long from the tips rather than pupping out. I’ve had it in an east facing window which was good enough.. but I’m noticing the stems are really reaching for light and growing rather thin. I moved it to a south facing window about a week ago so hopefully it takes off 🤞🏼
I like your idea of replanting all the pups together for a more even pot… you can keep the mother stem seperate and let it be a freakin monkey tail pup factory 🤣
Perfect for "Spooky Season" you should decorate the pot.
I have one. Mine is small and a single stem...this spring/summer it has grown, however it's still to sm to cut. Yours is fantastic!
The way i gasped at the new growth
I also have one that I have had fir about a year but mine is still very small. LOVE this plant though! I have a feeling I need to repot it with different soil and maybe a bit bigger pot and also water a bit more often. 😁
two cuties!!! (you and the monkey tail 🥹)💗💗💗
Hello from Puerto Rico!!! I got mine recently and looking good!!!
