    Hi Everyone

    I was given these as a house warming gift about 4 years ago and they have grown so much more than expected. Would they need repoting now? A before and after pic to show difference in size

      They look happy enough but would probably benefit from moving on to a slightly larger size

        I'd wait for a couple of months and then repot into slightly larger containers using cactus compost.
        The plants need good drainage so only use pots with drainage holes.

          They don't need much larger pots but the tall one would especially need a slightly larger pot because it will eventually become top heavy and fall over.
          They look very healthy.
