Here is my ‘Ming Thing’ cactus. This arrived with a couple other sad plants (including my pink phal orchid and my elephant bush that was literally just a dead stick with three leaves) from my mom’s neighbor who passed. When I say I have personally neglected this plant *COMPLETELY* for the last 4 years I really mean it. It’s been shuffled around relatively dark corners and watered *maybe* 4 times in 4 years — ineffectually as it was in super sad, hydrophobic, spent soil. 😅 Well…it has survived this total neglect — and a fall —so today I decided to give it a new pot and fresh substrate. These are slow growers, basically living sculptures…so this is it 🤷 Certainly resilient. Certainly a survivor. Certainly a bit boring…but hey, it’s come this far.

    I think it’s incredibly cool! And such a determined little plant deserves all the love and respect.
