Thanks! I cleaned off all the dirt and while its got some long thick roots, its really a shallow grower. I think this pot will serve him another couple of years, I hope. If he gets too much bigger, I will need to cut down a big drum to plant him in.

It will definitely do for quite a few years! If he gets too big, you can separate each plant into different pots to make it more manageable, at which point you could even start giving them away/selling them

I need to get brave and divide this plant. He's pretty grown together, it was one big tight mass while repotting. But I think you are right, next step is division!

Oof, I know that feeling! You could keep it in one piece (I think it looks so beautiful this way), but I don't know how manageable it would be

I desperately need to prune and propagate my Eve's pin cactus. She must be 6 years old, or older, and she's got soo many shoots, really bushy and branched out. She's going to fall out of her pot at this rate!

Oh, also can anyone advise on ways to raise humidity for more tropical plants? I've heard humidifiers, misting, dishes of water-- the most accessible option to me is misting the plants occasionally but I've heard controversy over whether that actually does anything beneficial. Thoughts?

Good luck with repotting, I love euphorbia! If you find it hard to manage it, use chopsticks! Always works well for our prickly friends

As for raising humidity, I don't know much other than making them a moss pole (if they're climbers). Here's a really good video on misting

I kind of like the wild look, sorta matches my personality. Plus, in the wild, this is exactly how it would grow. I don't want to disturb it unless absolutely necessary I think.

Excellent video! I have heard both good and bad about misting, I do it only to a tiger fern plant and judging from this video, I am going to stop. Good grief, its a wonder anything grows around here, our humidity can be 9% for long periods of time! I desperately need this person to move in here and help me with my plants.

You can put clear plastic bowls over the plants for a few hours

Thats a good idea
Would clear bags work, for bigger bushier plants?
