    Your cactus probably just needs dividing. Here are some good instructions:

    Division
    Division is the quickest way to propagate plants which produce stems at their base. To divide a plant, remove it from the container and' separate the plant into smaller pieces with a knife or the fingers. Each division should have some roots. Divisions without roots may be rooted as tip cuttings. Plants can be divided at any time, although the dormant or rest period is best.

    Good Luck!
