hello,
zone 5
several cacti (no idea what kind) but the ones i am concerned about are
flat with extensions that *were* pointing up now down
they are in VERY large pots and my question is whether i should put them
into small pots (i.e. do they do better (cacti generally) underpotted?)
thank you in advance

You don't need to repot them, just be extra careful. A large pot
takes a longer time to dry out than a small one, and it is usually
water that kills a cactus plant especially without quick drainage.
