Cereus Forbesii f. Monstrose
Common Name: Ming Thing

Cereus Forbesii f. Monstrose, affectionately known as the Ming Thing, is a fan-favorite among collectors for its bizarre, brainy, and sculptural growth habit. This monstrose mutation produces chunky, knobby blue-green segments that stack and curl in unpredictable ways, giving it a shape that resembles something out of a fantasy landscape—or a coral reef.

Slow-growing and compact, the Ming Thing thrives in containers and is perfect for collectors of rare, architectural cacti. Its short stature and alien-like form make it a striking addition to any succulent shelf, dish garden, or modern indoor display.

☀ Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to full sun. Outdoors, give it full morning sun and some afternoon shade. Indoors, place near a bright window for best growth and form.

💧 Watering Needs
Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is the main danger—this cactus stores moisture in its thick stems and prefers a dry, gritty mix. Water sparingly in winter.

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Hardy to around 30–35°F in dry conditions. Protect from frost and damp cold. For winter orders, consider adding a [Heat Pack].

✨ Special Features
Monstrose Growth – Wild, lumpy, coral-like shape with one-of-a-kind form
Bluish-Green Color – Subtle powdery blue tone enhances its sculptural look
Compact & Collectible – Great for small pots and centerpiece displays

Other Common Names:
Ming Thing Cactus, Brain Cactus (not to be confused with Mammillaria elongata ‘Cristata’), Monstrose Cereus

This cactus will ship bare root and will be ready to place directly in a well draining soil mix like our Custom Cactus Mix.

Good, inexpensive work watch
Color: all black watch
Bought as a working watch so I don’t wreck my good watches. It’s been working just fine and holding up well while not taking very good care of it. Keeps accurate time. Glass has stayed clear. Black finish looks good and is holding up well. Seems to hold up with steady pounding. Stop watch buttons are a bit crude and will mess up your time when your hand gets pushed back against it during hard labor. However, I have not babied this watch at all.

It’s not an ugly watch, but I did not think the watch looked as nice in person This watch lost several minutes over a few months. It is light and feels cheap. However, it was not expensive, it’s comfortable to wear and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
