What a beautiful golden barrel cactus! Mine is about the same size and it also has overgrown its container. I will use your method to move it to a bigger pot. Thanks for sharing!

Even if you put the cactus in the pot perfectly straight it’ll slowly lean south over time, so no point in trying to get it even

Just what I needed, bought a 12 inch barrel cactus from Lowes, put it in a big pot exactly like yours 2 years ago. Been wondering if I need to change the soil out every few years. Called Lowe's they said yes. From your vid it appears to be no. Just received some Fox Farm Big Bloom plant food and gave it some yesterday. Its been raining a lot in Kansas. I will sub and hopefully get advice.

Don't ask the people at Lowe's, most of them don't know much about cacti care. Find a nursery that KNOWS about cacti

Hi Charles, wow, I never knew about "come-a-longs". Where do you get them? Are they expensive? Do you rent them? Very helpful video. However, it would have been so much more helpful if you would have shown in detail how you attached the items you used to lift the cactus. I guess maybe it's just common sense everyone else but for me, it would have been a challenge to figure that part out. Thank you Charles.

@slowpoke4557 Жыл бұрын

The towel was held in place by the spines but he said he helped secure it with duct tape just to be sure. The come-a-long is a tool I know to be used by flat bed truck drivers to help secure Tage and heavy loads to the flat bed. You might be able to rent them, a good hardware store could help you with that. Another possibility is to use a couple of good quality ratchet straps......or you could get a friend good and drunk so they don't feel the pricks and give them a hoodie to wear under a thick leather jacket and bear hug the cactus out 😅😅

OKay I only watched the Intro and I am gonna say how I would it and see how it matches up....ready? I would take a laundry basket filled with fluffed up old rag blankets/towels/rags whatever and then only holding the pot part upside down over the laundry basket I would have a helper push a stick into drain hole so cactus pops out and land gently on rags....Then I would take it to my previous drug hole or larger pot and simply gently tip the basket over so it lands roots down in hole ....I have done this several times and it worked Perfect! To move the cactus to the side to add potting soil and straighten out etc I would wear heavy gloves and use something like broom etc to tilt it....anything not sharp yet stiff enough ...brush/broom stick with rag wrapped and taped to end etc.....okay now let's compare to advice here

@dougiequick1 4 жыл бұрын

I like my way better ....more foolproof.....and EASIER....trust me!....personally I would have straightened it out in the new larger pot.....but I guess he likes it angled ....which is kind of cool unless you want to rotate it and it looks funny tilting away from Sunny side.....

@jomoland 6 жыл бұрын

Scott S I agree. He said it was a good 100lb. It would have to lay on its side if the pot was broken and that would damage its thorns due to massive weight crush. Also how about lifting it into new pot? That would also be damaging without proper padding.
