Answer
Maryann,

First I must apologize for the delay in my answer. I have been out of town and not able to access my email.

replant it like any other plant, just make sure to use a "cactus mix" type of soil. If your cactus is very spiny, you can use and old piece of carpet or an old towel to wrap around the plant in order to remove it from the pot it is currently in. Water it good once you get it moved, then don't water again until the soil is dry. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Greg
