Cereus repandus 'Ming Thing' – A Unique Monstrose Cactus
Cereus repandus 'Ming Thing' – A Unique Monstrose Cactus
Cereus repandus 'Ming Thing', formerly known as *Cereus peruvianus 'Ming Thing'*, is a striking monstrose cultivar of *Cereus repandus*. Native to South America, this rare cactus develops fascinating, irregular, knobby growths instead of the typical columnar form, making it a popular collector's plant.
Distinctive Features
Monstrose Growth: Develops bumpy, twisted, and sculptural blue-green stems.
Spineless or Minimal Spines: Unlike typical *Cereus* species, 'Ming Thing' has very short or absent spines.
Compact and Slow-Growing: Ideal for pots, staying small and manageable compared to its towering relatives.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering.
Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions; avoid excessive moisture.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (15-30°C) and is sensitive to frost.
Fertiliser: Use a diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season.
Potting: Requires well-draining soil with sand, perlite, or pumice.
Propagation: Grown from cuttings; seed propagation is rare due to its mutated growth.
Additional Notes
A highly sought-after collector's cactus due to its unique growth pattern.
Perfect for small pots and rock gardens.
Non-toxic to pets, but its uneven surface can be fragile.
Cereus repandus 'Ming Thing' is a fascinating and rare monstrose cactus with its sculptural, twisted growth. Its low-maintenance care and striking form make it a must-have for cactus collectors and enthusiasts looking for something truly unique.
