Ocotillo can be rooted from cuttings, though success varies. After cutting a branch, let the end callous for a few days. Plant 3–4 inches deep in well-draining soil, mounding soil 4 inches around the base for stability. Do not water the soil. Instead, mist the stem every few days—the green tissue around each spine indicates vitality. After a month, if rooted, leaves will emerge. Reduce watering gradually. After a year, remove the mound and cease supplemental watering entirely.
Patience is key. Ocotillo rooting is slow but rewarding for this iconic desert shrub.
