How to handle?

Hey all! My boss wants this dude to go to a new home, and my coworker loves cacti, so I'm gonna repot him to send him on his way. But how do you repot them when they're so untouchable?

@SavvyOleander ~ I use a thick pair of gloves, you can do it by only touching the dirt/roots, or a pair of pliers and just touch it gently!!

I’ve got quite a few that were “fun” to transfer!! Haha 😆 Ouch Ouch 🤕

My dad gave me a pair of firemen gloves. Any thick gloves will do or I've seen people roll up a towel and wrap it around where they need to hold. Just be a little gingerly if you use a towel.

I have leather palmed gardening gloves. They work really well.
