The plants in the cactus family contain many species, the most important of which is the cactus and the cactus, followed by the cactus, the flower friends who like to breed the cactus are very many, many cactus varieties are available for us to choose and maintain, most of the cactus can bloom in the summer, the petals are also very beautiful, the only drawback is that the flowering period of the cactus is relatively short.
Indoor balcony, outdoor balcony are very suitable for breeding plants in the cactus family, the biggest advantage of plants in the cactus family is that the growth environment is not too picky, there is light can grow, indoor outdoor or outdoor bay windows can be planted and maintained, do not pick the environment during the growth period, strong vitality, not easy to die, this is a major advantage of plants in the cactus family.
In the cactus family, there is a plant called monkey tail pillar, everyone is also accustomed to call it the nine-tailed fox, in fact, the name of the nine-tailed fox is a lot of business "whimsical" come, any book of information, it will be called the monkey tail pillar, not the nine-tailed fox, indicating that the appearance of the monkey tail pillar is covered with white fluff, and it will look like the tail of a fox on the surface.
Personally, I like the monkey tail pillar very much, and I also raise a lot of it at home, because the monkey tail pillar can be propagated by cuttings, cut off a branch, dry it for half a month, and wait until the wound is completely healed and buried in the soil to grow the roots, and the growth rate of the monkey tail column after the hair root is still very fast, about the length of the second year can reach about 20~30 cm, and the third year can be meristem from the branches.
The appearance of the monkey tail pillar has white fluff, and the length of the fluff can reach about 5 cm, the white fluff will cover the entire plant, and it has a fluffy texture to the touch, and the difference between the fluff on the animal is still different, in fact, the fluff of the monkey tail pillar is its spikes, but in the process of evolution, the sharp thorns and thorns feathers turned into fluff.
The price of monkey tail pillar in the market is still relatively high, the length of about 15 cm can be sold for twenty or thirty pieces, the longer the length, the higher the selling price, the longer the monkey tail pillar, the longer the growth time consumed.
There are two kinds of monkey tail pillars on the market, one is long with white fluff, and there is a very short fluff, where the white fluff does not cover the plant itself, it is the wrong variety, the price of the two varieties of monkey tail pillars is very different, the monkey tail pillar with white fluff is very expensive, and the price of ordinary monkey tail pillar is very cheap.
The length of the fluff can accurately distinguish the type of monkey tail column, we should not be deceived by the merchant when buying, we must buy the long white fluff, the fluff can cover the whole plant, such a variety is authentic.
