Cereus forbesii monstrose ‘Ming Thing’
No two plants grow alike
Weird, knobby growth
Easy to care for, slow-growing cactus
Distinctive mutated growth form
Yes, it’s supposed to look like that. ‘Ming Thing’ grows in irregular, knobby clusters instead of the straight columns you’d expect from a cactus, and no two plants grow quite the same. Its monstrose growth just keeps getting weirder as it matures, which is exactly why we love it.

Succly Plant Care
Our succulents are low-maintenance but love a little TLC:
• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is best
• Water: Water only when the soil is fully dry. Succulents prefer a deep soak followed by time to dry out completely.
• Potting: Keep in well-draining soil with drainage holes
• Love: Rotate occasionally for even growth, and talk to them (they like compliments)
Every plant comes ready to thrive, just add a little sunshine and love!
