My wife and myself did, we now bear the scars. That was with wearing gloves as well. But he should be happy for a few years now.

Members' notes...
I bought this in a Spanish nursery in 1983 when it was the size of a thimble! It now has a circumference of 139cm. I have just had to repot it and with the pot it weighs an estimated 20 stone. You should repot a cactus when it's spines touch the edge of the pot. It all has to be done 'insitu' and the cactus wrapped around with 2 long towels to lift it out. It has prize place in my conservatory, faces due south and is never moved. It should now grow bigger more rapidly. I am interested if anyone has a bigger one? They are easy to grow. Do not give them any water form mid October to mid March, as a general rule, but water freely throughout the summer. It is essential to feed it.
Bought June 08, 40 years old.
