Got some free San Pedro from a lovely neighbor and wondering if these are monstrose? Also what exactly is monstrose and what benefit do they have over regular San Pedro?
I’d say the middle guy in 2nd Pic is monstrose. Possibly TPM. The rest looks like REALLY nice PC.

Could also see that it could possibly not be, but i still think PC 95% of it.

Absolutely! Montrous just mean that they have rarer/unique genetic mutations, the one in pic 2 looks like some sort of melty pachanoi, but looking at most of these cuttings they all seem to have some spicy genetics, def worth planting and seeing what they do.

Look for sections like the part next to my pinky and ring finger in the middle of consistent runs. If there’s drastic changes in diameter where the weird parts are, it’s possibly a normal ripple in growth from growing conditions instead of being monstrose.
Also, that’s PC. PC can do monstrose things randomly.

Monstrose is more rare. Therefore it’s worth more. It also has much more unique growth patterns. I’ve also heard that they can be more potent then normal ones as well…but I’d never use my monstrose cacti for that purpose cus they are too cool to butcher.

They’re more fun to look at!
