Question
Hello! In my home decoration craze, I planted about five small cacti in a large glass jar about four-five years ago. Some of the cacti died, some of them grew, in a rather strange way. (See Photo) Now, I think, it’s time to repot them, but I don’t know how I can do that. They seem to have some very weak spots that rely on the glass jar for support. Thank you for your help!
Answer
Dear Amroth, I too have some native cacti that I've planted indoors. They have grown very elongated and "spindly" compared with their wild-grown relatives. You can certainly re-pot them and simply set them on the pot edges (in the new pots) as they have grown here or even set up something beside the pot to help them support their weight. Essentially, taking care to support them while planting and using your best judgment will create a good home for them. Good luck.
