This is how I tackle the tricky one getting him out his pot πŸ₯΅πŸ˜¬He has got me at times though πŸ’‰πŸ«£
How do any of you 🌡 Owners tackle your tough cookies? πŸ’šπŸ₯΅
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
It's tough love ❀️ πŸ’šπŸŒ΅. I handle mine with a teatowel and thick heat proof oven gloves. I'm trying to be very gentle.
@SvelteKingfern
I don't have any oven gloves I find them clumsy As long as we try to dodge the prickly bits it's all good πŸ€£πŸ’š
I don’t have any cactus plants so I don’t have to worry about that. My roses outside are a different story. I have to glove up for deadheading and pruning.
@Ninabeena
Oh yeah rose thorns 😬are terrible eh Nina I have had run ins with them in the past
@Chevysgirl11 I injure myself every time πŸ˜‚
@Chevysgirl11 Do you have cleaning gloves? Or leather gloves? To handle that bad boy ? My bunny ears were seemingly innocent when they decided to change gender and I got stuck from them barehanded .Yep Micks a πŸ₯ .
I’m just scared to pick up mine!
Then again I don’t have a reason to yet
@Ninabeena
There's pain in beauty isn't there Nina 🀣πŸ₯°
@ILoveMyPlants
Hey deb no I don't have leather gloves To be honest that barrel cactus I'll take any day over my bunny ears cactus it's my least favourite I've been pricked soo many times and it feels like glass under your skin don't you agree? 🀣
@Chevysgirl11 Good morning yes you’re right about the pain . But I do love my babies,If they ever bloom .
@ILoveMyPlants
Mine got top heavy and dropped a few pads so the latest ones are on the right in πŸ¦“ pot I do like them despite their spikes 😬
I bought some gloves that have a coating on the underside- supposed to protect from the pricks- for the most part it does- but I have been stuck! I use the gloves and a trowel. οΏΌ
@SillyPlantGirl
That's something that I maybe should invest in I love your cactus arrangement 😍 and cute dog in profile pic πŸ’ž
@Chevysgirl11 thank you!! That’s my mini me Lucie!
I havnt tried it yet BUT I will be next week. Someone said to keep Amazon packaging and use the cardboard? I'll try and report back haha
@SillyPlantGirl
Oh πŸ₯°πŸ˜I'm so sorry I've only just seen this Lucie is beautiful girl I love bulldogs I had a white one years ago called Grace she was a big girl thanks for sharing 🐾
I hear you there if you don't need to touch them yet it's all good
@Diamondgem13
Let me know how you get on with tackling yours 😁🌡
I would just like to provide an update! The Amazon paper package trick worked AMAZING! I didn't get pricked once when repotting! Yay!
