Thanks Elaine .. as I said, I don't know nothing about broms .. so if they don't mind being in those small pots they'll just stay there until I can find a safe spot to plant them outdoors.

Danita, many years ago I had a 4 foot Cereus peruvianus cactus grossly underpotted that was on my bench making it top heavy, in the greenhouse. One day it tipped over on me as I was facing it. I was thoroughly impaled on my cheeks, arms, chest and breasts (thankfully I wear glasses) and tangled in my hair. I could not move without lodging the thorns in further and didn't have a phone or neighbors at home. I just stood there in shock and pain. After about 20 minutes of trying real hard not to panic I started to detach the cactus from one arm so I could move my arm. It took about a quarter of an hour .. I was finally able to reach my clippers and clipped off all the thorns stuck in me. Whew! I then spent the next couple of hours removing the thorns from my body. After that experience I pretty much gave away all the plants that hurt.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
