It might be a cereus forbesii monstrose or “Ming thing”

I have that same one!! Every angle I scan it Planta tells me it’s a “blue candle cactus.” Not sure if that’s right, so I’d like to know as well!

I know. I looked up Ming thing and it’s a mutation of a blue candle so it solved that.

Been through this with this plant and Planta. I vote Ming Thing, as well. After getting mixed up on species in Planta, if I know the species and it’s not in here, I’ll just add it as “cactus” and set my own water reminder after reading what, for example, Mountain Crest Gardens suggests for water.

Definitely Ming thing!
