Here's a cactus that I've had for about fifteen to twenty years. I repotted it mostly because it was getting top heavy and it recently blew over. It was in a smaller plastic pot, so the larger terracotta pot will make it more stable. It's 24 inches tall from the soil to the top of the plant and although it looks to have soft non-threating spines, it has a mixture of soft and stiff spines.
The stiff ominous spines are white and disappear among the soft spines. They make this cactus a real challenge when it's time to repot. So I used a piece of carboard to support the cactus as I repotted it!
