Thanks Vlani. I'm very happy to add such interesting plants to my GH. Hope I can give them proper care. We're adding a second GH before winter. Sue

A bit of an update & more questions. All of the rescues are doing well & we went back with a trailer & brought home a few more tall ones & 2 large barrel cactus. Got the 2nd GH up & running so everyone will have a winter home. Now a question: some of the tall ones ( especially the eulychnia) are making offsets where they were damaged or lopped off. I'd like to root a few of them. What is the best size? Some are about golf ball size & others range up to 8 inches. Which do I choose? TIA, Sue
