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

Soothing, refreshing, and effective for most uses
I found this sunscreen back when it was still reasonable priced ($10 for a bottle this size) and am now completely 100% addicted as the price continues to rise. Sigh. I don't use this anywhere but my face and neck. Putting this on my face makes me go "ahhhhh". I break out easily, burn easily, and haaaate the feeling of sunscreen. Previously, I used Neutrogena 45 or 55+ ultra-sheer dry touch, and I still use that sometimes when I expect more intense exposure, but the Coola cucumber just feels so much better. I don't actually know if I would burn in cases where I still use my other 45+ sunscreen since I haven't taken the chance. I use Coola for 30-45 minute pool sessions, and hikes between 30-90 minutes. I haven't trusted it for things like skiing, 3 hour hikes, or boating where you get intense sun and a lot of moisture exposure. Buy if you want a lightweight, refreshing face sunscreen for walks in the sun, lounging poolside, or mild-moderate hikes.

Organic Sunscreen with an Air-Brushed Finish
I've been using the Coola Organic sunscreen on my face for about 5 years now. I love that it protects my skin without dangerous chemicals. The product has virtually no scent and has a pleasant creamy, but not greasy, texture. An additional perk is that it creates an instant "air-brushed" looking finish to my skin. Note: I have found that you have to shake the tube (especially when new) or else the product emerges a bit watery at first. I've always used the non-tinted formula so I can't comment on how the tinted formula works. Also, the "cooling" aspect of the product seems more of hype than reality. But, over all, this is an excellent sunscreen.

So refreshing, you’ll forget it’s sunscreen.
This stuff is fantastic. I love the super fine mist and how easily the pump works. It is soo refreshing and smells like fresh coconut. Ot doesn’t sting or burn my sensitive eyes, and it leaves my skin feeling revitalized and moisturized, not sticky or tacky. It feels amazing when it’s hot outside and you need a quick refresh and it won’t disturb my makeup. Coola is becoming one of my favorite sunscreen brands.
