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.

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!
