Also, some more potting. The Echinocereus reichenbachii ssp. caespitosus that I dug out of an area where the mower runs got put in the container. Not sure I'm satisfied. In the past I've always started out with smaller, younger specimans than these. It may be that some of these may need to be removed at some point.

The Echinopsis species - cristata 'Caterpillar Cactus' also got a new home. If grows as fast in this home as it did in the last one it will need another new home next year. I bought it in a 4" plastic pot and put it in a 6" clay pot hung with wires. It had reached the edge of the clay pot in several places and was pushing against two of the suspension wires. I have no idea how large they can grow. I think pushing on the sides of the old container made it tilt some because it didn't quite go back in level with the old soil line. I tried to level the plant.
