Will be curious to hear other's answers. I have some super thick leather gloves for pruning our monster bougainvillea and I leaned the hard way that was not enough. Can only imagine how easy a cactus thorn would go through.

Wondering if the right answer is like needle-proof gloves they sell to law enforcement lol

NGL going to look those up

I use a plastic cup, like quart sized takeout container, or sometimes a small mason jar. I don't like cacti for this reason, but the cup over the top is my method. I use a takeout chopstick to poke around the soil and loosen it up a bit. Turn the plant upside down with the cup around it to remove the plant, then kind of hold it sideways in the cup to trim or rake out the roots a bit. Then prep the new pot with fresh soil, still using the cup to hold it and position the plant, fill in the rest of the soil and remove the cup. Works ok.

I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

Does anyone know what’s going on with my philodendron? I’ve had this plant for years and just recently got it to start producing new leaves again and all the new ones have these lighter spots, but all the old growth is just a solid dark green like the leaf in the background. Good thing, bad thing, or just a thing that happens? Anyone have some insight?
