Found a cactus I got as a kid 30 yrs ago randomly in the old unused wood bbq. Never been fed / watered still kicking and looking ridiculous in that pot. Repotted it and that was always gonna hurt :( went straight through the gloves.

And anothery of the blossom (I'm obsessed by it I know). Nother week should be full tilt:

wrap cactuses in thick newspaper when you repot them

Or a beach towel

Ooh that's a good idea. I was impressed how easily it went straight through those leather gloves.
