Thank you very much for all the information all of the cacti are in the pots the came in in the bigger pot so they won't get root bound yet. I only put them in this pot temporarily until I learn a bit more and decide what I will do with them. The pot I not top heavy at all just heavy all together it is a very heavy solid clay pot and it doesn't have a drain hole so I am Leary on using it as a permanent home for the big guy. I could drill a hole in the bottom of this pot if it is a suitable size for the barrel. I am planning on taking the small ones out as I don't want them to become root bound in each other I am way to novice to start pruning the roots.
I am also quite curious if I were to put them under a t5 or t8 fluorescent lights on timers if it would grow well and possibly even thrive!? Thanks again for all the great information!!!
