Dear Xeno,

A friend has a lovely Argentine cactus but " Some of the arms are very large and thick, and have started pressing up against our house. I'm afraid it might damage the stucco or push too hard against the railing. It is also protruding into the sidewalk and might cause harm to visitors. Can these be safely removed without harming me or the plant? " I don't know the answers to this question. Can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks,

Maureen

PS: Her plant is larger than the one in your photo and does really lean against the house. Here's a photo.
