Ming Thing Size:3/5 Gallon cover young or recently plantedThe Most Unique Sculptural Cactus for Modern Phoenix Gardens Ming Thing (Cereus forbesii f. monstrosus) is a rare monstrose cactus with knobby, coral like growth that looks like a living sculpture. Unlike typical columnar cacti, Ming Thing develops irregular bumps, curves, and ridges that give every specimen a one of a kind form. Originally from Argentina, this compact cactus thrives in Phoenix's heat and dry conditions with almost zero maintenance.
