Ouch
Got me, never even saw it coming. I usually regard the sides of pots as a safe neutral territory.

Re: Ouch
I know that it is not good form to laugh but having just repotted something rather similar I did chuckle 
I have two Puya that need potting on which I'm still working the courage up for.

I can't even work up the courage to repot a grafted moon cactus, it gets me every time I go near it

I have a big Aloe polyphylla to repot. They are very spiteful too.

Re: Ouch
I wonder how to pot on this Echinocereus brandegeei. Ouch springs to mind indeed.

Re: Ouch
Tongs and tweezers, large and small, are extremely helpful in avoiding damage to yourself and plant from spines and potting on.

Re: Ouch
I agree. This little tool is very handy. Bit rusty, but that means its a bit stiff so you can hold it easily in one hand while re-potting with the other.Liz M wrote:Tongs and tweezers, large and small, are extremely helpful in avoiding damage to yourself and plant from spines and potting on.
