I purchased an ocotillo towards the end of August & when it arrived most of the leaves had dropped. I went ahead & potted the barefoot plant - all leaves had dropped by this time. After a few days I watered thoroughly. New leaves have popped out up & down each of the three stems! This all happened in the space of about 15 days! I look forward to watching my ocotillo grow this winter under grow lights! In KY there is still adequate time for my ocotillo to acclimate.
There is absolutely nothing not to like!! Thanks again for another awesome cactus.
Loved the Cactus, it’s planted and ready to grow. May want to order another, soon. Do the produce seeds? Do you sell peyote buttons?
For the price, this is a very small cactus, but it seems to be healthy. Doing well so far. Hoping to see it flourish over the next year or two, so it will be taller than knee-high on a child. 😅
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear your Ocotillo arrived healthy and is doing well. Our Ocotillos are advertised and sold at 12–18 inches tall, and we make sure every plant we ship falls within that stated size range. While young Ocotillos can look fairly modest at first, they can put on substantial growth once established and growing vigorously. We hope you enjoy watching yours develop over the coming seasons!
Ordered 3 large sized Blue Glow agaves, unfortunately shipped across country on one of the hottest weeks of the summer. They arrived beautifully packaged inside boxes and wrapped in bubble wrap. Told to leave the wraps on until they were planted (a few days later), I was concerned about their ability to breathe. When they were slightly unwrapped later that day, I could see that they had sustained heat and moisture damage from the long trip, with wrinkled and some rotting leaves. I took some photos, and Cactus Outlet immediately sent out replacements, this time wrapped in brown packing paper, which I unwound as soon as receiving them. They are now in the ground and thriving! Great plants and great service, thank you. They were also extremely responsive when I had care or shipping questions or concerns, replying within minutes with detailed answers.
