I have some miscellaneous cacti that need repotting. So I am
looking to find out the appropriate size to upgrade to.

For example, some are small, in 10 centimetre (4 inch) diameter
pots. Some are in pots about twice that size, but are probably
even more root-bound, since they have been in those for longer
time.

The small ones are inside, on a window ledge, and the larger ones
are outside.

There is also an aloe Vera outside that looks desperate for more
space.

I am thinking of using pots twice the current size(?)
Basically, I want to minimise the frequency of this trauma (for
both the plant and for me) but without using overly large
containers. I don't want to do it again next year, but I don't
want to take up too much indoor space.

Any tips on protecting my hands from the spines while I molest
the cacti?
