Hey Guys/Girls.....
So Thanks for the input. I left the entire plant on its side all day to dry out a bit (just like in the photo above). I bought the cactus, palm soil as well as a bag of perlite and a much smaller clay pot. I have to say that I was astonished with the small amount of space the root cluster was taking up, I thought for sure that a larger bot would give the roots more place to go thus making the plant grow larger.
After I came home I used a large portion of perlite mixed with the soil, I'd say 70% cactus/palm soil and 30% perlite mixed in with a pretty good layer down at the bottom. I then cut a few branches here and there and covered the cuts in cinnamon because they were totally weighing down the plant and with all dry soil it was tipping over. I have dipped them in the root hormone and waiting for them to be ready.
My goal here is to have very hearty stalks, not stringy branches. I suppose I just don;t want to lose my plant at this point!!!
