How do you repot these things without needing a blood transfusion?
I have Puya Alpistris and P. berteroniana that I've grown from seed. They are 4 years old and desperately need repotting. These plants have to be the most insidious and vicious plants I've ever grown. The leaves have spikes that point inward toward the center of the plant making extrication of bare flesh a bit scary.
Being essentially ignorant about broms I need advice on how big a pot do I need to step up to and is it ok to prune off the older, bottom leaves that are curling around the pots.
