    I recently purchased a cute little cactus planter and it is in dire need of transplanting into a larger container. I really do not want to separate them rather keep them in the same pot. Actually I do not want them to get much bigger than they are. What size pot should I get to keep them small yet enough room to "breathe"?

    Help!!!!

    just go next size up .. not any bigger .. and a good tip on transplanting cactus is .. take a piece of newspaper fold the end over about 2 inches wide .. continue to do this till the whole paper is folded like a accordian .. but keep it together .. and wrap it around the cactus and lift it out .. like a sling .. it works great and you dont get stuck ..or you can just ask your dogs to do it .. they dont seem to get stuck but it ..lol.. just kididng .. that is a cute pic .. ouchy poor noses ....lol
